Description

For Thums Up, the work reinterpreted its own cultural memory during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup by building on its iconic hook “Aaj Kuch Toofani Karte Hain.” Originally associated with Vishal Dadlani, the line was reimagined through Hanumankind, with Vishal Dadlani also returning as part of the new composition, alongside him, into a contemporary chant-driven track. The adaptation blended nostalgia with modern hip-hop energy, bridging legacy and new youth culture. The film transformed a familiar brand mnemonic into a live cultural trigger that moved from screens to stadium chants during the tournament. Varun Grover and Sushin Shyam refined the structure, extending the hook into a scalable musical system.
