Mumbai: Muthoot FinCorp Limited (MFL), the flagship company of the 138-year-old Muthoot Pappachan Group (also known as Muthoot Blue), has launched a vibrant new three-film advertising campaign featuring Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan. Reiterating its position as India’s Original Gold Loan Specialist, the campaign highlights the brand’s core proposition—making gold loans accessible, seamless, and stress-free for all.
At the center of the campaign lies a simple yet powerful message: Gold loans should empower, not exhaust. With over 3,700 branches and a robust digital interface through the Muthoot FinCorp ONE app, the brand offers customers the convenience of securing loans anytime, anywhere—even with just a missed call.
Conceived and executed by creative agency Moonshot, the campaign infuses humor and relatability into everyday loan scenarios, transforming them into moments of delight. Leveraging SRK’s signature charisma, the films creatively underscore how Muthoot FinCorp stands out by simplifying what is traditionally a cumbersome process.
Campaign Highlights:
*Film 1: A businessman hopes SRK’s endorsement will help him secure a loan. Before he can act, Muthoot FinCorp’s gold loan approval alert arrives, proving SRK already knew the process would be a breeze.
*Film 2: SRK breaks into an impromptu dance at a Muthoot FinCorp branch to help a borrower. But it’s the branch manager—and Muthoot’s smooth process—that steal the show. SRK agrees, the process was always the real star.
*Film 3: When a friend urgently needs funds, SRK and Muthoot FinCorp both step in—even on a Saturday. The film ends with a clever punchline: “You can count on friends, but smart borrowers count on Muthoot FinCorp.”
Shaji Varghese, CEO, Muthoot FinCorp said, “With a legacy of over 138 years, we’re reinforcing our position as India’s Original Gold Loan Specialist with our latest ad campaigns. These campaigns mark a significant step towards our vision of empowering customers with innovative and convenient financial solutions.

SRK’s humor and charisma bring to life the convenience and accessibility of our gold loan services, empowering our customers to achieve their goals.”
Devaiah Bopanna, Co-founder, Moonshot said “Working on legacy brands is always enriching, because you have to push the boundaries while respecting their history and ensuring you add to their rich brand equity. Muthoot FinCorp was especially fascinating because this is a 100-plus-year-old brand, with the biggest superstar on the planet as its face. Collaborating with the Muthoot FinCorp team was a joy. They were open to bold ideas and encouraged us to go the extra mile to get every detail right. Working with SRK is a dream. He improvised, delivered perfect takes, and took the creative several notches higher.”
The campaign is being launched in Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, and Gujarati, and will be promoted across television, digital platforms, print, outdoor media, and on-ground activations, ensuring extensive reach and resonance with consumers across India.
