The script for the TVC has been written by O&M Bangalore senior creative director Deepak Joshi and Corcoise Films director Prasoon Pandey has directed the TVC.
The TVC shows a group of sky divers ready for a jump from a plane. The instructor advises the sky divers that after jumping from the plane they should count till 10 before opening their parachutes. One overenthusiastic diver asks to be the first one to jump off the plane. However, he stammers.
After jumping he begins counting till 10, but stammers very badly on each count, so by the time he reaches a count of five, he collides with the ground. With fear written all over his face, he desperately tries to latch on to the railing of a balcony, but misses it. And the sound of an ambulance reverberates.
