Century Ply is enamored with the charisma of Shahrukh Khan and have partnered with a SRK movie earlier. Therefore taking the same trend ahead, they have partnered with SRK’s biggest film of 2010 ‘My Name Is Khan’.
‘My Name Is Khan’, is a movie wherein the protagonist goes through various ordeals in life to achieve the unattainable. Rizvan Khan, a Muslim man from India, moves to San Francisco and lives with his brother and sister-in-law. Rizvan, who has Asperger syndrome, falls in love with Mandira. After September 11, 2001, Mandira is devastated and they split. To win her back, he embarks on a touching and inspiring journey across America. Rizwan Khan’s strength to go on through every upheaval is integrated with the brand philosophy of Century Ply.
Shahrukh Khan says, “Century Ply has always come up with a theme or slogan that goes with the theme of movie and doesn’t look out of place. My earlier film ‘Billu’ was also associated with this brand. I have liked their present slogan ‘Strength to go on’ and it goes very much with the story of Rizwan of ‘My Name is Khan’. It actually could have been slogan of my film!”
Addressing the media, Mr. Sanjay Agarwal, Jt. MD, Century Ply, added, “The spirit of Rizwan Khan in this movie has strengthened our faith, that if you are true towards your goal, nothing can stop you from achieving it. Everything else becomes meaningless as long as the fortitude is there to reach the destination. The same attitude has brought us to the pinnacle and has kept us there”.
Commenting on this association Mr. Abhra Banerjee, VP Marketing of Century Ply said, “The undying spirit of Mr. Khan in this movie is what appeals the most and has a strong resemblance with our brand Century Ply. The brand Century Ply demonstrates the statement, ‘Never Say Die’, in its mannerism and this is the spirit that the team lives by. This is the second time that we are associating with SRK and hope to keep this association in future as well.”
