MS Dhoni Recreates ‘Animal’ in New Ad Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga
Former Indian captain and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) legend MS Dhoni has taken fans by surprise with his latest advertisement, where he recreates scenes from the 2023 Bollywood blockbuster Animal. The ad, directed by Animal’s original filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga, has quickly gained attention as IPL 2025 draws near.
Dhoni’s Iconic Cameo in ‘Animal’-Inspired Ad
Ahead of the Indian Premier League, MS Dhoni starred in an ad for EMoterade, an electric bicycle brand. The ad pays tribute to Animal, the second-highest-grossing Indian film of 2023, featuring Ranbir Kapoor in an intense anti-hero role.
In the commercial, Dhoni recreates the iconic scene where the protagonist arrives in style with a convoy of SUVs and bodyguards. However, in a humorous twist, instead of luxury cars, Dhoni makes his grand entrance on an E-bike, with Sandeep Reddy Vanga stepping in to direct the scene mid-shot.
