During the shoot, Vanga praised Dhoni’s acting skills, saying viewers would love his portrayal. In response, Dhoni stayed in character and humorously mimicked one of Ranbir’s famous  lines from the film: “Sunaiye de raha hai mujhe, behra nahi hu main” (I can hear, I’m not deaf). This delighted Vanga, who called Dhoni his hero. 

As the ad progressed, Dhoni recreated another memorable scene from the movie Animal, where he sported a mullet hairstyle to imitate Ranvijay’s look. Vanga continued to express confidence that the ad would be a hit, but Dhoni jokingly reminded him that it was an advertisement for an electric cycle. The final shot saw Dhoni delivering another iconic line from the film, bringing the hilarious homage  to a close.
