Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan has been roped in as the Brand Ambassador of PepsiCo’s ‘daring drink’ Mountain Dew.
Talking of Hrithik’s association with the brand, Ruchira Jaitley, Category director, PepsiCo India said “We are proud to associate with Hrithik Roshan, who truly reflects the daring, bold and fearless persona of the brand and its consumers. He is a true embodiment of the brand’s philosophy of ‘Darr Ke Aage Jeet Hai’ and we are thrilled to have him onboard. With his love for all things extreme, Hrithik is the perfect fit for the brand and will take its philosophy to a whole new level. We look forward to a blockbuster summer and are confident that this partnership will be mutually rewarding”.
Speaking of his love for challenges and ‘can-do’ attitude, Hrithik Roshan said “Mountain Dew has always celebrated the bold and adventurous spirit of the youth. I am a big fan of its ‘can-do’ and challenging attitude which I identify with personally as well. I love pushing myself to the extreme and the brand’s belief in this similar view point, proved to be an ultimate fit which I couldn’t resist. I am excited to work with the brand and look forward to a great journey ahead”
Sources within the industry say, PepsiCo will be working closely with the Roshan’s to promote their Blockbuster Diwali release Krrish 3.
In the recent past, Salman Khan was associated with Mountain Dew, a contract that ended in December 2010.

Everyone needs a perfect man and H.Ro is most perfect man in the world. H.Ro rock
Wow really excited to know this. Hrithik will take mountain dew to a New level. Best of luck HR and keep the good work going.
@g.one. Salman ended his contract with pepsico’s ‘mountain dew’ because they simply weren’t willing to pay the astronomical money he demanded for the contract renewal (somewhere near 8 crores), meanwhile pepsico’s biggest rival coca-cola signed him up for the mega ‘thums up’ deal(as per some unconfirmed sources the deal is no less than 10 crores). And for your kind information, within one year, both salman & pepsico managed in making ‘mountain dew’ the india’s fastest growing brand in its category. Mountain dew opted for a much cheaper but highly effective star who has the ‘brand-effectiveness’ of the megastar salman, so it is hrithik roshan. Thank god they didnt take srk warna ‘mountain dew’ tho kya log tho cool drinks peena bi baand kardethe. Lol…
@nvs-They did not pay him 8 crore because he was not worth.
@mansoor on your face:I can’t wait for the results of GHANTA award ,hopefully Sallu bhai will win for worst actor.
Yeh!
awesome hritik body
