The film unveiled today is set in a relatable home arrangement and features Khatterenjoying board games with his friends when they ask him if he has Lay’s at home, eventually creating an entertaining frenzy amongst the youngsters. While the actor rushes to the nearby supermarket to pick up the new Lay’s ‘@ Home’ packs, his friends completely ransack Khatter’s apartment looking for their favourite chip pack. The film closes on a light note, with one of the friends remarking“Nice place yaar!” as Khatter and the gang sit together and share a delightful moment over the new Lay’s packs.
Speaking about the new launch and the TVC, Ishaan Khatter said, “Lay’s has been etched in my memory since childhood.
