Mostly reduced to a “failed actor” or just “Bhai ka bhai” by social media, Arbaaz Khan has stayed relatively distant from pop culture in the past few years. His facial similarities with tennis legend Roger Federer have still made him good meme fodder for the Gen-Z but in the post-Cred era of Indian advertising, it seems like Khan is ready to take the joke on himself.
Just check out his latest ad for public blockchain platform Solana.
Acting as Roger Federer, Khan indulges in the most bizarrely hilarious display of court tennis with a melodramatic voiceover. In the end, he says, “Maybe not everyone can be a tennis legend but you know what you can be - a coding legend.”
The ad is revealed to be around Solana’s new Hackathon event. The jokes don’t end till the very last second as Khan says “ROGER-ster now”.
Just a few weeks ago, Khan’s ex-wife Malaika Arora had released her own reality show Moving In with Malaika on Disney+ Hotstar, with audiences regarding it as a “guilty pleasure” or “hatewatch” content. But Arbaaz Khan’s one-minute-long advertisement seems to be better than that show’s entire season (or maybe his own film career itself!).
