Ad Pick: Motorokr starring Abhishek Bachchan

April 6th, 2007 · No Comments

This is a real fundo ad for Motorola’s new music phone called Motorokr. It features their brand ambassador for India - Mr. Abhishek Bachchan. And if I am not mistaken the ad also features well-known ad film-maker Prasoon Pandey. (Notice the director who tells AB to get some rest). Anyways, you enjoy the ad.
