Jaisa Karo Gay Waisa Bharo Gay: Wasim Akram Ditches Mobilink to Join Ufone

By Mehwish Khan | 16, May 2012 | 32 Comments

Wasim Akram, the legendary cricketer also known as “King of Swing” has left Mobilink to join Ufone as its brand ambassador.

Once the brand ambassador for Mobilink, Wasim Akram appeared in a Ufone TVC that was aired yesterday.

Ufone showed Akram playing with a ball in a prison cell (replicating Tom cruise’s scene in Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol) and then breaking the jail (in Shawshank Redemption manner) to eventually run after the car filled with Ufone guys.

This was probably the best shot Ufone could play for a MNP ad.

On a side note - the phrase: Jaisa Karo Gay Waisa Bharo Gay fits well here. As Mobilink had snatched Ali Zafar from Telenor, and now Ufone did the same with Mobilink. This trend may trigger a new race of snatching brand ambassadors from other operators.

Meanwhile have a Look at Ufone’s TVC below:

Aamir bhai, aap bhi qasam se item hain!!! This is not a copy of Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible. It is rather Michael Sculfield’s Prison Break copied set. Pls grow up!!!!!

  If they didn’t mention/tribute it then you guys should have mentioned that the idea and concept is copied/stolen like you have written about zong and other companies…

    Grow up a lil please… This isnt copy.
    
    They portrayed MI4 and the other movie to just give you the message at the end. Did Tom Cruise ported his cell phone operator in MI4? Bas tanqeed he karni hai har cheez pe

      I don’t want to indulge myself in a discussion but ideas in a tangible forms of expression deal with copyright issues

Qaddii no 502… Waseem Akram wickets :P

Nice Shot between, we should appreciate the effort at least rather then criticizing. probably best shot seen for MNP. None of the operator did like this one MNP add.. irrespective of humorous add.

Nice ad, Please ufone shot a movie like this, nd do ”BRAND PACING” in that movie.. ;)

I am trying to port in my number to ufone since december 2011. But ufone wale 1 month bad call kr k poch laty hain k 2 din main ap ka number port ho jay ga or phir 1 month guzr jata hai. And now I’ve changed my mind. port krne se pehle itni achi service hai to bad main kia karain gay. Ufone sucks.
