Commenting on the development, PepsiCo India Senior Director Marketing (Colas, Juices and Hydration) Homi Battiwalla said: "Our latest campaign takes forward the 'Oh Yes Abhi' philosophy and brings alive Unmukt's impatient moments in his first ever ad-film with MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina."
