Cashing on his new found fame, Neeraj was recently featured in an advertisement for Cred. The olympian surprised everyone with his unrecognisable looks and on the point acting. The advert showcased the craziness that people have about Neeraj now. Neeraj plays several quirky characters in the ad who seem to be interacting with himself.
Ayappa KM, who directed the ad, gave some behind the scenes insight about how Neeraj approached the whole shooting process. He shared that it was quite different from Rahul Dravid, who also featured in a funny advert for the same brand. We were very worried because Neeraj Chopra seemed to be a little shy. But we met him and he was game about it, said Ayappa.
He further added, Neeraj was the opposite of Dravid. Sometimes he would just break down in the middle of a line laughing. He just wanted to have fun, he was chilling and having a great time.” Ayappa further described how the advertisement is relatable for Neeraj Chopra since he has been exposed to immense limelight anlt such a young age.
