The buzz is that the latest trend for every brand is to go ‘youthfully desi’. ‘Kurkure’ of which Juhi Chawla has been a brand ambassador for long is doing the same. They have roped in B-Town hottie Kareena to replace the ageing Juhi.The nine-year-old snack brand by PepsiCo India has been endorsed by chirpy Chawla for almost five years. Though Bebo will be the new face, Juhi will continue to be the face for the brand, reveals a PepsiCo Snack Foods official. The ad will be shot like a Cindrella fable in Hindi, in a Haryanvi accent. Interestingly they are calling it ‘ishtory’.According to Pepsico officials, “Desi Beats is an incremental platform that Kurkure was looking at, for which it needed a new face. The product demanded a new look, and that’s why Kareena.” They are saying that Juhi has always stood for the irreverent and chatpata attitude of the brand, and she’ll continue to carry it further. Juhi and Kareena will apparently endorse the entire portfolio together, though the details are yet to be finalized.
It’s a well known fact that Kareena Kapoor has always set fashion trends through her films. Now with Sajid Nadiadwala’s KAMBAKKHT ISHQ the style icon hopes to set a trend once again. Designer Aki Narula who has created the KAMBAKKAHT ISHQ costumes for Kareena said, ’’Kareena has chosen a lot of mismatches this time so as to make it look more real. The clothes are not over the top as seen in Hindi films. But it’s a big trend that’s catching on and looks very real on screen.’’Kareena added, ’’Everything in KAMBAKKHT ISHQ is a style statement because I play a supermodel on the film. And though it is a hardcore commercial film, I have consciously chosen non-filmy clothes.’’Aki Narula has sourced her clothes from Milan. ’’It took me 15 days to find the right kind of clothes for Kareena. She wanted the costumes to sync well with her character,’’ said Aki after JAB WE MET where Kareena’s clothes became a national rage, looks like KAMBAKKHT ISHQ is going to set new trends!
