Schbang founder and creative director Harshil Karia and the brain behind this fun short film said, “It was such a fantastic experience working on this advert. It isn't every day that you get to recreate the sets of iconic films and pay homage to them while using their original soundtracks. We tied up with Shaun Kolah once more to direct this for us and got Famous Animation on board for the special effects. From a campaign standpoint, the message doesn't get any truer than this. Salon Secret High Shine Crème Hair Colour is truly a revolutionary product and it encapsulates the brand’s years of experience on sets and the salon floor to create India’s foremost hair colour with Shine Tonic in a box at an unbelievable price. This campaign is designed to compress that journey, giving consumers a glimpse into the work that’s gone into creating this hair colour.”

Godrej Consumer Products Ltd. creative director Thomas Dawes said, “After the phenomenal success of our recent Dry Shampoo #DirtyLittleSecret we knew we had to do something huge to celebrate the launch of our at home hair colour, Salon Secret. So we decided to create a film that celebrates the thing that most people know BBLUNT for – Bollywood! We identified the top bloggers in the country whose personalities were an ideal match to the iconic star they were playing, with Adhuna recreating these iconic looks once more… then we sprinkled a little bit of magic. This is going to blow your socks off.”

Talking about the video, BBLUNT founder and creative director Adhuna Bhabani said, “Bollywood as a culture and with its reach is huge not only in India but globally. A product range and the launch of a salon-quality hair colour at home that resonates our Bollywood journey had always been a goal that Avan Contractor and I aspired towards ever since we set out to style our first film. With the successful launch and positive feedback on the vibrancy of each shade and the long-lasting shine delivered, it was about time we told our audience the Bollywood backstory that made the Salon Secret dream a reality. This short film got me all nostalgic; the entire experience was like reliving the moments, hard work and learnings we had on the sets of each of these films. I appreciate the team work that has gone into the making of this and I’m so excited to see the final cut with the special effects in place.”
