MakeMyTrip has rolled out a film featuring Royal Challengers Bengaluru players AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli and Yuzvendra Chahal.
Titled 'game on' the film has been conceptualised by MagicCircle. It opens with de Villiers throwing a ball to Chahal. Chahal takes a knife and starts cutting the ball open from the seam. Kohli asks him whether he's developed a habit of cutting onions while sitting at home and Chahal responds in the affirmative. Kohli then introduces Chahal to MakeMyTrip's 'getaway deals at safe stays'. The film ends with the trio stating its time to say 'life ka karo game on' (resume life).
Films featuring players from Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will also be released.
