An advertisement by a restaurant in Pakistan was called out and trolled online for using a scene from Alia Bhatt-starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi.
An advertisement by a restaurant in Karachi, Pakistan has created quite a stir on social media after it used a scene from Alia Bhatt-starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi in an unsavoury manner. The restaurant named Swings was promoting a special Men’s Monday discount and used a particular scene from the film to do that.
The restaurant took to Instagram to share their advertisement in a short 24-second video. The clip featured a scene from Gangubai Kathiawadi where Alia can be seen on the streets of Mumbai. A billboard featuring a 25% discount on Men’s Monday can also be seen in the video.
“Aja na Raja - what are you waiting for? Swings is calling out all the Raja's out there. Ajao and avail a 25% discount on Men's Monday at Swings,” reads the caption of the post.
Take a look:
The video soon went viral with close to 50k views. Netizens slammed and trolled the restaurant for their advertisement and called it insensitive and cheap in the comments section.
