Ranveer then asks her to keep quiet, but the woman says she had suggested her husband take the supplement, which claims to be a performance enhancer.
In typical Ekta Kapoor style, the âsaas', slaps the 'bahu', who is seen falling off the balcony. Johnny is then given the pill and he manages to save his wife from the fall.
With this campaign, Bold Care wants to normalize the conversation around men's sexual health. This approach aims to change how society discusses men's sexual health issues. The brand film is a comical parody of a typical Indian TV drama. It skillfully tackles the issue at hand, normalizing it through hilarious sequences, and presents a scientifically proven solution.
Written by Tanmay Bhat, Devaiah Bopanna, and their team, the ad is directed by Ayappa KM. Tanmay and Ayappa have previously worked together on many successful ad campaigns, like the Rahul Dravid x CRED ad. The brand film was produced by Earlyman Films, one of the leading ad production houses in the country.
This initiative aims to break through outdated stigmas, bringing taboo topics into the spotlight and sending a clear message: you are not alone and help is always available.
Ranveer Singh, Co-Founder of Bold Care, shares, "I'm here with sincere intent to use my influence for raising awareness and making a positive impact. The Bold Care campaign is more than talk; it's a mission that I am deeply connected to, and I am here to bring a change in how we address men's sexual health, aiming for tangible solutions and millions of lives impacted all across the country."
