Yes, you've heard it right. Chote Nawab Saif Ali Khan, the ever chirpy Juhi Chawla and our very own Indian Cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni have come together for the very first time but not for a movie. We are talking about the new Frito Lays Ad campaign-Chala Change Ka Chakkar that combines the trio. The trio will be seen in TV commercials directed by ace Pradeep Sarkar that hit the screens by the 3rd of Feb.
Saif, Juhi and Dhoni will be seen swapping roles with the common man be it a rickshaw driver, school boy, traffic signal cop etc. This will be decided by a contest held and the winners switch places with Saif and the rest of the team. Saif is too excited to see which contestant can swap roles with him and live a day in his life. The role swapping process will have a telecast on TV at the end of the campaign.
At the official launch of the campaign on Friday evening, Saif was the highlight of the event in the absence of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The act opened up with Juhi pulling Saif's legs with constant taunts of 'Chote '.hey Chote'. The smart and clean shaved Saif Ali Khan appeared in front of the media in a very much gentleman like attitude. The journo's were breathing down Saif's shoulders with rumours of his wedding and Valentines Day being just around the corner.
