A steel brand, endorsed by Bollywood’s power couple Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, launched its new ad on the Animal actor’s birthday. But this time they are joined by Shah Rukh Khan, as the background score of the ad seems to be clearly inspired by his latest blockbuster action thriller, Jawan.

What’s in the ad?
In the popular steel brand’s new commercial, the three stars are introduced to a track inspired by the Jawan theme, composed by Anirudh Ravichander and topped by Grammy-nominated rapper Rajakumari.
The track in the ad begins, “RK ka hai wonder, Alia hai showstopper, Rungta Steels ka King Khan hai just like thunder.” The three stars then come together, in matching black outfits, holding the brand’s steel bars in hand and saying the brand’s tag line out loud in the chorus.
The caption of the steel brand’s official Instagram handle, however, reads, “Picture abhi baki hai” (The film is not over yet), suggesting that a longer version of the ad might be in the works. This popular line comes from Shah Rukh’s 2007 reincarnation epic Om Shanti Om, written and directed by Farah Khan.
Fan reactions
Unsurprisingly, fans of the three stars lost it when they saw the ad. One of them wrote, “I’M EQUAL AND IT’S JUST AN AD (crying emoji).” Another commented, My mains (sparkle emoji).” “DREAM CAST (surprise emoji),” wrote a third. A fan also commented, “Oh my gosh all the lovelies in one frame after so long.”
Ranbir, Alia, SRK
While the three stars have shared screen space with each other one by one, all of them have never come together for any film yet. Ranbir and Alia starred opposite each other in Ayan Mukerji’s hit supernatural film Brahmastra Part One: Shiva last year. Alia shared screen space with Shah Rukh in Gauri Shinde’s 2016 coming-of-age film Dear Zindagi. And Shah Rukh had a scene with Ranbir in his 2016 Karan Johar romantic film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Interestingly, Shah Rukh also had an extended cameo in Brahmastra, but he didn’t share screen space with Alia or Ranbir.
While Shah Rukh will next be seen in Dunki, Alia has announced Jigra as her next project. Ranbir will star in Animal, the teaser of which was released earlier today on the occasion of his birthday.
