A Hilarious Father-Son Rivalry
Plant nursery and gardening platform Ugaoo has launched its newest brand campaign starring Bollywood duo Jackie and Tiger Shroff. The campaign film uses lighthearted humor to poke fun at the demands of plant parenting, leveraging Jackie Shroff's real-life passion for greenery to construct a hilarious narrative around his relationship with his son, Tiger. The narrative humorously suggests that Tiger’s signature martial arts, high-flying backflips, and physical flexibility were developed as a childhood attempt to compete with his father's beloved house plants for attention.
Behind the Scenes: Kulfi Collective and White Rivers Media
The campaign was conceptualised and produced by Kulfi Collective, with White Rivers Media managing digital media efforts. According to Akshat Gupt, director, CEO, and co-founder of Kulfi Collective, the creative team aimed to leverage authentic elements of both actors' public personas.
"Jackie sir's love for plants is already such a recognisable part of who he is, so we wanted to build the story around something that felt equally true to Tiger," said Gupt. "Having Jackie and Tiger play these exaggerated versions of themselves made the humour feel natural, and gave us plenty of room to push the absurdity.
Simplifying the Joy of Plant Care
The core message of the campaign centers on simplifying plant maintenance for modern consumers. Ugaoo aims to shift the narrative around urban gardening from an intimidating, high-maintenance chore to a manageable, fulfilling hobby.
- Brand Vision: Siddhant Bhalinge, Founder & CEO of Ugaoo, noted that the film brings to life the belief that plant parenting should be "easy and enjoyable."
- Jackie’s Connection: Jackie Shroff, who has partnered with Ugaoo for over a year, highlighted that the collaboration works because it aligns with his genuine personal lifestyle.
- Product Positioning: The ad showcases Ugaoo's range of low-maintenance plants, specialized soils, and user-friendly gardening accessories.
