Gas-O-Fast ropes in Rakesh Bedi for new campaign celebrating India’s love for food

Backed by Mankind Pharma, the campaign uses Bedi’s comic timing and cultural recall to position the brand as a trusted fix for post-meal indulgence, not a deterrent to it.

Mankind Pharma has appointed veteran actor Rakesh Bedi as the brand ambassador for Gas-O-Fast, rolling out a new campaign that leans into his signature comic timing and renewed pop-culture relevance.

The campaign film taps into a relatable Indian truth—people may regret overeating, but they rarely stop themselves. Built around the positioning “Khana banane ka nahi, pachane ka solution”, the brand shifts the narrative from prevention to relief, presenting itself as a dependable companion for post-meal discomfort rather than a cautionary voice.

With Bedi at the centre, the film uses humour to turn digestive troubles into a shared, light-hearted experience. His familiar, exaggerated style helps the message resonate across age groups, bridging nostalgia for older audiences and meme-driven recall among younger viewers.

According to Joy Chatterjee, vice president and head of sales and marketing at Mankind Consumers Products, the idea was to reflect India’s emotional relationship with food—where indulgence is non-negotiable—and position Gas-O-Fast as a practical, trustworthy solution that fits seamlessly into that reality.

The campaign aims to widen the conversation around digestive wellness, making it more accessible and relevant across generations while reinforcing the brand’s promise of fast, effective relief.
