celebrity ad film production · India

a few hours with a legend. no retakes to spare.

Thumb Thamba Media produces celebrity ad films in India. The films on this page feature M S Dhoni, Tiger and Jackie Shroff, Kartik Aaryan, Sidharth Malhotra, Rohit Shetty, Farhan Akhtar and Hardik Pandya. A celebrity shoot is a scheduling problem before it is a creative one, so the film is rehearsed, pre-lit and shot-listed in priority order long before the talent walks on set.

asked often.

Do you book the celebrity?

No. The brand or its agency contracts the talent. We plan and produce the film around the time that contract gives us.

How do you protect a short shoot day?

Everything that can be decided before the day is decided before the day: rehearsals with stand-ins, pre-lighting, a shot list in priority order and approvals on set.

How much does a celebrity ad film cost?

The production cost depends on the script and the days. The talent fee is separate and agreed between the brand and the talent.
