Sparx’s new film with Akshay Kumar celebrates the ‘never give up’ attitude
The film shows a kite flying sequence
Sparx, a footwear brand by Relaxo, has launched ‘It’s In Me’ campaign's TVC that features actor Akshay Kumar as the primary lead, alongside other supporting actors who reflect upon the creative thought of celebrating the undying energy and ‘never give up’ attitude of the youth.
The creative opens up with the actor engaged in a Kite or ‘Patang’ flying drill (as India calls it) with a young guy who's indulged in the same along with his friends. The teenager or the young kid tries his best to get the better of Khiladi Kumar but fails to do so, losing hold of his kite. Akshay celebrates his victory by announcing ‘Ye Kata’ (it is gone) to further testify upon his victory. However, the kid takes it positively and reverts with — “Akshay sir, kaata hai, loota nahi hain.” (meaning, I've lost it, but you haven't got hold of it yet). The accompanying visual shows a two way tussle and a high octane run between both as the young guy and Akshay are seen wearing their respective Sparx shoes.
They run, turn, move, jump and maneuver at extreme pace and still the grip they have on the road showcases the impeccable quality of the footwear as a whole. Ultimately, both of them are able to be at proximity with the kite where Akshay gets hold of the manjha (the kite flying thread) whereas the young individual gets hold of the flight, which he achieves by jumping into the water — again resonating on the fearless attitude of the Indian youth. Akshay acknowledges the kid and his agility with “Tu bhagta acha hai ” (meaning you run well, kid) to which the individual replies with, “Aap bhagate bhi toh acha ho” (meaning, that's because you make me run well). The TVC ends with both of them, flaunting their experience and announcing the ‘Its In Me’ collection.
Gaurav Dua, Executive Director at Relaxo Footwear, shared his excitement for the brand-new campaign, stating, "At Relaxo, we are thrilled about the 'It's In Me' campaign, something that signifies our vision of harnessing the boundless energy and spirit of today's youth. It represents our continuous emphasis upon the dynamic, ever-evolving aspirations of the youth. Sparx is not just about footwear; it's about encapsulating the vitality and enthusiasm of the younger generation.“
“The ‘Its In Me’ campaign is something that's synonymous to the youngsters of our nation and what better way to showcase it than having megastar Akshay Kumar. The TVC does justice to our quality and the parameters that distinguishes us from the rest.”, said Sachin Chhabra, VP & Head of Marketing at Relaxo Footwears.
