The latest communication is like a game where the girl always tries to get my Thums Up and I always outsmart her to get it back. So it has a lot of action, adventure and a dimension of fun and playfulness, " said Akshay.

Conceptualized by Sainath Saraban, Executive Creative Director, Leo Burnett and directed by Malaysian Director, Farouk Aljoffery the latest communication brings out the whole idea of what a Thums Up lover does when he gets his favorite bottle of Thums Up after a visibly action-filled chase.
