Ranveer Singh enters the chat to promote Experience Abu Dhabi
Experience Abu Dhabi has launched a campaign targeting Indian travellers, starring Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh and set entirely within the familiar digital setting of a family WhatsApp group chat. The campaign brings to life a behavioural truth: most Indian family holidays begin not at a travel agency or with a Google search – but with a message to the family group. With more than 500 million active users, India is WhatsApp's largest market globally, making it a natural storytelling platform for the campaign's concept. The campaign was developed by Serviceplan Middle East and produced by Déjà vu. It was supported by Spark Foundry, Ogilvy India and Memac Ogilvy. The video opens with Singh seated at a family dining table, excitedly announcing a holiday in Abu Dhabi. One by one, other family members begin to appear – both at the table and in the group chat – mirroring the way Indian families often plan trips through emojis, voice notes, and back-and-forth banter. Characters include a tech-challenged auntie who's always typing but never sending, a good-morning-forwarding uncle, and the younger, Gen Z cousins with cool filters and hotter takes. As each character weighs in, scenes shift fluidly from chat to real-world, showcasing what Abu Dhabi has to offer for every family member – from luxury shopping and theme parks to street food and serene beaches. The film closes with a cheerful CTA from Singh: 'Habibis, so when are you going to Abu Dhabi?' Beyond the film, the campaign extended into digital touchpoints with custom WhatsApp sticker packs featuring Ranveer Singh in playful poses and travel-themed captions like 'Flight mode: on' and 'No kaam, only araam. #InAbuDhabi.' These stickers were designed to organically integrate into Indian WhatsApp conversations, reinforcing both recall and relatability. 'A family holiday is not an easy agreement. Options are proposed, drafted like resolutions, debated in group chats, amended mid-call, and sometimes vetoed by the youngest delegate with the biggest opinions,' said Sajju Ambat, Director of Creative Strategy and Insights. The Ranveer Singh campaign recorded over 143 million impressions, 18.5 million video views, and 254,000 engagements across digital and social channels – highlighting the value of insight-led, culturally resonant creative in travel marketing.

'Dhurandhar' Having given us the blockbuster 'URI: The Surgical Strike,' director Aditya Dhar is all ready to come back with another gripping, action-oriented venture named 'Dhurandhar.' This time around, he's collaborating for the first time with powerhouse actor Ranveer Singh for a spy thriller based on actual events in India's intelligence past. According to a report in Pinkvilla, the director has already chopped a suspenseful teaser to reveal the scale and energy of Dhurandhar. The teaser guarantees a cinematic experience that's packed with intensity, spying, and high-octane drama. It will be a gift from the makers to Ranveer Singh as well as his fans by giving a first glimpse of this bigger-than-life world of spies and covert missions. The movie is reportedly 75 percent done and the team is hoping to complete the shoot by September this year. Although the release date has not been locked yet, sources indicate a theatrical release is being planned for some time between January and March 2026. Following the shoot of Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh will start working on 'Don 3' with Farhan Akhtar in October 2025, followed by a zombie-action movie with Jai Mehta later in 2026.
