McDowell’s No.1 Soda & DriveU SHARE

Share Share ShareShare

Bangalore: Popular comedians Sapan Verma, Sahil Shah and Azeem Banatwalla from East India Comedy (EIC) were in for a surprise last week when well known Bollywood celebrity and singer, Ayushmann Khuranna, was sent to be their designated driver through the SHARE feature recently launched by McDowell’s No.1 Soda in association with DriveU.

Ayushmann Khurrana spent the entire day driving the trio around safely while they attended multiple house parities on a Sunday afternoon. The rib-tickling video captures how the friends have used the DriveU and McDowell’s No.1 Soda SHARE feature which allows you to book a driver for your car so that can spend hassle free time with your No. 1 Yaars.

The video, created in partnership with McDowell’s No.1 Soda, begins with the EIC team making plans amongst each other on a Sunday afternoon of partying. Their plans include multiple destinations and of course, ending the day with a fun filled party. However, rightfully so,  they choose not to be under the influence and drive and therefore, Azeem Banatwalla, ends up booking a driver on the DriveU app – which turns out to be Ayushmann Khurrana! The trio get driven around by Ayushmann while they playfully take digs at him throughout the entire drive. Ayushmann even pulls a clever prank on them that leaves the EIC team stumped. Watch the video to find out more!

McDowell’s No. 1 Soda in association with DriveU launched SHARE in January 2017 to encourage its consumers to celebrate their bonds for friendship and brotherhood and through this feature they are able to do just that in the comfort of their own car.

Subroto Geed, Senior Vice President and Portfolio Head, at United Spirits Limited says, “We chose to create content with the talented East India Company that our audience could relate to and enjoy. The McDowell’s No.1 Soda and DriveU SHARE feature beautifully brings alive our brand purpose of celebrating the bonds of brotherhood and we encourage our audience to do it responsibly.”

5 lucky consumers across Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune and Hyderabad can win a chance to have them and their Yaars be driven around by Ayushmann Khuranna in April 2017. All you have to do is download the DriveU app on your smart phone and use the SHARE feature to stand a chance to win this once in a lifetime opportunity.
