Former India cricketer and legend MS Dhoni has teamed up with filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga for a new advertisement of an e-bike brand. The video playfully references Vanga's own film, Animal.
In the ad, Dhoni channels the character's energy, played by Ranbir Kapoor in the film, and swagger to promote an electric bike. He delivers a memorable line from the blockbuster hit: "Sunai de raha hai mujhe, behra nah hoon main" (I can hear you, I am not deaf!)

Another moment features Dhoni parking his bike in a manner reminiscent of Kapoor's bike parking in the film.
At one point, Dhoni asks Vanga if the ad is getting a bit too extravagant, to which the director responds to stay tuned for what’s next. The final scene showcases Dhoni mimicking Kapoor's iconic black-and-white moment from the film's climax.
Dhoni who is part of Chennai Super Kings, the five-time IPL champions, will get their campaign underway against arch-rivals and fellow five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) at Chepauk Stadium on March 23.
