Casio India celebrates the bond of siblings with a timeless twist in new ad
Casio India
, pioneer in
timepieces
, has unveiled a new campaign that redefines the essence of gifting between siblings.
Moving beyond the traditional thread of Rakhi, the campaign thoughtfully positions a
Casio watch
as a symbol of everlasting love, memories and time spent together.
At the heart of the campaign is a model that has been sourced in India, for India – thoughtfully designed to reflect the preferences, aesthetics, and sensibilities of
Indian consumers
.
This reinforces Casio's ongoing commitment to creating products that resonate with local markets while upholding the brand's global standards of quality and innovation.
In a tender and visually evocative film, Casio captures the nuances of a brother-sister bond from childhood mischief to growing up side by side, ultimately portraying how some are bound not just by thread, but by time.
The watch- MTP-SN3KRL-1A worn on the wrist like a Rakhi, becomes a modern metaphor for the timeless promise siblings share.
Takuto Kimura, managing director, Casio India, said, 'While the Rakhi has long been a traditional symbol of protection and love, this campaign explores the idea of time as an equally powerful and lasting expression of that bond. This year, we are especially proud to showcase a model designed specifically for India, reflecting our deep understanding of the local market and our ongoing commitment to deliver products that are culturally and emotionally relevant.'
The creative concept and production of the campaign film have been carried out by Film Your Film Studios. Directed by Gaurav Kumar, the film captures the essence of the campaign with authenticity and emotional depth, reinforcing Casio as a brand that genuinely connects with its audience.
This Raksha Bandhan, a Casio watch is not just a gift but a gesture that marks moments, celebrates memories and strengthens the bond between siblings, the brand stated in a press release shared with ETBrandEquity.

Sholay filmmaker was once homeless, sold carpets to survive and fell in love with movies while constructing house of an actress
Synopsis Meet GP Sippy, the legendary producer of Sholay, who faced displacement during the Partition. Although he passed away in 2007, his journey in Bombay remains iconic and unforgettable. From being homeless to trying his hand at various businesses, his growing interest in cinema eventually led him to produce his first film, Sazaa. The turning point came with Sholay, directed by his son Ramesh Sippy, which went on to become a cultural phenomenon. Read on to know more about the life of GP Sippy. This 1975 Indian epic action-adventure film is helmed by Ramesh Sippy, produced by his father G. P. Sippy, and written by Salim–Javed. Every cult classic has its legend, and behind one of India's most renowned films, Sholay , stood a man whose own life story was nothing short of iconic. Gopaldas Parmanand Sippy, fondly known as GP Sippy, was the visionary producer who brought Sholay to life. But few know that long before he became a pillar of Bollywood, he was a displaced survivor of Partition, forced to rebuild from the scratch. Born into a wealthy business family in Karachi, Sippy's life changed drastically after India's Partition in 1947. His family was forced to leave everything behind, their mansion, thriving businesses, and wealth, when they fled overnight to Bombay (now Mumbai).According to a New York Times report, the family arrived with little more than hope. In Bombay, survival was far from easy. Sippy tried various small ventures. From opening a restaurant in Bombay to selling carpets, he then moved to construction work and build some of the first apartments buildings in building a house for Bollywood actress Nargis Dutt, GP Sippy became interested in films. He tried acting for a short time and later began producing low-budget crime movies. As he mingled with Bombay's people, Sippy was often encouraged to venture into films. In 1953, he made his debut as a producer with Sazaa. While the film didn't make waves, it marked the start of his long relationship with cinema. Over the next few years, Sippy invested in several films and even dabbled in direction and acting. However, limited box office success saw him being labelled a B-grade producer. Realising the need for fresh perspective, he brought his son Ramesh Sippy back from the London School of Economics to take charge of the business. The turning point came in 1975 with the release of Sholay . Directed by Ramesh and written by the powerhouse duo Salim-Javed, Sholay redefined Indian cinema. Sholay is arguably the iconic film of Indian cinema, featuring an all-star cast led by Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Jaya Bhaduri, Sanjeev Kumar and the unforgettable Amjad Khan as Gabbar Singh. With a budget of Rs 3 crore, a huge sum at the time, the film introduced larger-than-life storytelling, iconic characters, and unforgettable dialogues. It ran in cinemas for five years and became a cultural phenomenon. And still is! Sippy followed this with other major productions like Shaan, Seeta Aur Geeta, Saagar (which marked Dimple Kapadia's return), Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, and Patthar Ke Phoo l. His eye for narratives and commercial credibility helped shape Bollywood's golden era. GP Sippy passed away in 2007 at the age of 93. His legacy lives on not only through Sholay but how he redefined Indian cinema.

The photos showcased him spending quality time with his family in England, featuring moments with his daughter and scenes of a stroll in England. However, he didn't post any picture of his wife Athiya Shetty. One photo shows KL Rahul spending time with his brother-in-law, Ahan Shetty, at what seems to be a cozy restaurant. KL Rahul, dressed in a light pink t-shirt and a black cap with a sunflower design, is looking down at a menu in his hands. Ahan, sitting beside him in a black outfit with a moustache, is glancing at the same page Rahul is holding. In another picture, KL Rahul is seen enjoying a day out in a park. His Instagram posts included a snapshot of his food and another photo of him strolling through the streets in England. The post's standout moment was undoubtedly a photo of his little daughter clutching his hand. The picture captures a moment where his daughter is gently holding onto KL Rahul's finger with her tiny hand. Sharing the pictures, KL wrote as caption, 'Fam (sun and evil eye emoji).' Fans and friends couldn't get enough of the pictures, showering love and praise for the moments KL Rahul shared with his little one. His father-in-law Suniel Shetty sent love through a heart and evil eye emoji, with Ranveer Singh also dropping several heart emojis in the comment section. 'Awww the little hands , giving us wholesome moment,' one wrote, with another sharing, 'Evaarah's cuteness.' 'Two months of toil led to this beautiful moment. So, so worth it,' one comment read. Another comment stated, 'All hearts for Baby Evaarah.' 'Her little fingers, his whole world,' one fan gushed, with another sharing, 'Those little hands has my whole heart.'

In April, Athiya Shetty and cricketer KL Rahul marked a special milestone on the cricketer's birthday by sharing the first photo of their baby girl. The couple also revealed her name. They introduced their daughter with their virtual family on Instagram, with a caption which read, 'Our baby girl, our everything. Evaarah/इवारा ~ Gift of God'.
