MUMBAI: Ramping up the thrill quotient, Thums Up has released an action-packed summer campaign led by its variant, Thums Up Charged. The new campaign exemplifies the uncompromising attitude and unshakeable self-belief that heroism is an opportunity in any given situation, no matter how challenging it is.
For the first time, joining brand ambassadors Ranveer Singh (Hindi film) and Mahesh Babu (Telugu film) in action is model Diva Dhawan. The duo team up as investigative journalists to take charge by unleashing their potential and pushing the boundaries. Directed by renowned filmmaker Abhinay Deo, the enthralling film has been shot in a desert on the border of Namibia and South Africa. The campaign has created by Lowe Lintas.

Coca-Cola India and South West Asia vice president – sparkling category Shrenik Dasani said, “With Thums Up Charged, our intent is to continue bringing the taste of thunder to consumers’ taste buds - as we take things a notch higher, in line with what consumers continually expect from Thums Up. This new Thums Up Charged campaign seeks to reinforce the ‘Never Give Up’ attitude, serve as a salute to the uncompromising attitude of heroes, and in the process, encourage people to challenge themselves and unleash their true potential. We are confident that consumers will find enjoyment and inspiration in this campaign, brought to life by our heroes Ranveer Singh and Mahesh Babu.”
Lowe Lintas regional creative officer Janmenjoy Mohanty said, “Thums Up Charged is all set to #TakeCharge this summer. A distressed situation, secret footage at stake, and two never-say-die protagonists who steel themselves and find a way out. That’s the theme of our new film for Thums Up Charged. While this new story retains all the key ingredients of a Thums Up TV commercial, we’ve added some new elements to the mix. For one there is an action duo this time - joining Ranveer Singh and Mahesh Babu in the action is Diva Dhawan. Also, the two central people have a character role – they’re both investigative journalists.”
The campaign will be active across multiple consumer touch points like TV, print, outdoor and digital & social media.
Thums Up Charged is the first ever innovation under brand Thums Up which was launched to celebrate 40 years of Thums Up. The variant is the result of Coca-Cola's steadfast commitment to innovation by offering more beverage choices to its consumers. Continuing with the same Toofani image, Thums Up Charged is packed with more thunder and stronger taste. The innovation takes the iconicity of the brand Thums Up to the next level and helps in accelerating its journey to becoming the first home-grown billion-dollar beverage brand in the Coca-Cola system.
