KFC has unveiled a quirky new collaboration featuring Jaideep Ahlawat, and it is already grabbing attention for the actor’s unexpected — and entertaining — shift from his trademark straight-faced demeanour. Known for his intense on-screen presence and unshakeable expressions, Ahlawat becomes the centre of a humorous new ad built around the Chicken Krisper Meal, currently priced at Rs. 99 in select regions.
The video opens with Jaideep delivering what he cheekily calls a “masterclass in staying unbothered,” a nod to the online trend celebrating stoic confidence. In a montage of setups that mirror his iconic roles, he remains completely unaffected. Whether he’s playing a menacing villain, staring someone down in a high-stakes interrogation scene, or being asked by a director to break into a “thoda cool sa dance,” not a single expression shifts. His face stays still, unfazed, and immovable — much to the viewer’s amusement.
But the façade finally cracks when the actor is presented with the Chicken Krisper Meal. The sight of the burger, packed with juicy peri peri chicken strips, creamy tangy sauce, and fresh lettuce inside a soft sesame bun, manages what dramatic film sequences and intense situations could not: it gets him to smile. The ad then cuts to Ahlawat enjoying the meal, complete with crispy golden fries and a chilled Pepsi, marking a rare and charming break from his tough exterior.
With this collaboration, KFC aims to highlight the strong value proposition of the Rs. 99 Chicken Krisper Meal while tapping into Jaideep’s relatable, understated humour. The campaign positions the offering as an accessible, satisfying choice for customers looking for a budget-friendly yet flavourful meal, leveraging the actor’s rising popularity and unique personality.

The Chicken Krisper Meal is currently available for Rs. 99 across Maharashtra (excluding Mumbai), the Chandigarh Tricity area, and select cities in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh for dine-in and takeaway. Customers visiting the restaurant can also pre-order via the KFC app to minimise wait times and enjoy a seamless dining experience.
With Jaideep Ahlawat’s deadpan charm and KFC’s quirky spin, the campaign blends humour, personality, and appetising visuals — enough to tempt even the most unbothered viewer.
