MS Dhoni joins hand with Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga for new ad

Indian cricketer Mahindra Singh Dhoni is gearing up for the 2025 Indian Premier League. However, Thala is now making headlines for a hilarious advertisement in which he mimicked Ranbir Kapoor.

MS Dhoni has recently starred in the ad for EMotorad, an electric cycle company, which also featured Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. In the ad, MS Dhoni portrayed Ranbir's famous character Ranvijay Singh.

Dhoni recreated a scene from the film in which Ranbir exits his car and crosses the road with his gang. However, Dhoni added a twist by using an electric cycle instead.

Director Vanga then praised Dhoni's acting skills, predicting that audiences would love it. However, Dhoni remained in the character and mimicked Ranbir once again and uttered one of his famous lines from the movie.

MS Dhoni said, “Sunaiye de raha hai mujhe, behra nahi hu main (I can hear, I'm not deaf.)”


Sandeep Reddy Vanga's excitement led to another entertaining exchange with Dhoni, who then proceeded to imitate Ranbir's iconic entry scene from the movie. Vanga then declared it would be a massive hit, prompting Dhoni to jokingly ask if they were going overboard.

Dhoni finally revealed that the entire act was an advertisement for an electric cycle, but Vanga playfully refused to admit it. The ad concluded with Dhoni mimicking Ranbir in a hilarious recreation of the Animal movie's closing scene.
