He added, “At this point, we as a team are looking at long-term partnerships only, whether it’s in the form of strategic investments, endorsements, or equity deals. Recently we declined a double-digit multi-crore offer from a pan masala brand and are going to be extremely mindful of who we associate with. Given his pan India appeal, we want to use this opportunity to give the right kind of message to his fans and followers and invest our time and sweat with brands that have a conscience, are like-minded, and want to play the long game, just like the man himself.”
The news broke only days after Akshay Kumar declared his separation from a paan masala brand after appearing in an ad for the company. He was seen promoting Vimal’s cardamom products alongside Ajay Devgn and Shah Rukh Khan. Tobacco products are also sold under the brand.
