Shah Rukh Khan has made his debut in Harpic‘s latest campaign, delivering his signature arms-wide-open gesture in a 15-second teaser. In the clip, Khan appears in a white shirt and blue blazer, holding a bottle of Harpic with a knowing smile, stating, “Harpic hain na.”
This development raises questions about the brand’s direction, especially considering Akshay Kumar has been Harpic’s ambassador since 2018. Kumar’s association with the brand was part of the ‘Har Ghar Swachh’ mission, aiming to promote toilet hygiene across India.
The teaser’s release has sparked curiosity among fans and industry watchers alike. Is this a strategic move to feature both megastars, or is Khan set to replace Kumar as the sole ambassador? The duo previously appeared together in a Vimal advertisement, which faced backlash due to its association with harmful chewing products. Kumar later issued a public apology and stepped away from the endorsement.
As of now, Harpic has not provided further details about the campaign or the roles of its ambassadors. However, the teaser featuring Khan suggests a potential new phase in Harpic’s marketing strategy, possibly aiming to leverage Khan’s widespread appeal to reinforce its message of cleanliness and hygiene.
