Associate Director & Head of Marketing, Policybazaar.com, Sai Narayan added, The campaign seeks to redefine the way insurance is bought in India and is using the mass appeal of Akshay Kumar to bolster the strength of the messaging. The term campaign is just one of the subjects we will be addressing through this campaign. Similar TVCs on health and life insurance products will be rolled out subsequently. The TV commercial also accentuates the ease of comparing and buying an insurance policy online. Though the commercial has entertaining and humorous quotient attached to it but surely leaves behind the strong message of securing financial future of the family. The campaign has been conceived and executed by K Silent Productions. The TV commercial starts in a hospital room where a dead man is lying on the bed and Akshay Kumar dressed as Yamraj pays the dead man a visit to take him on his final pilgrimage. The patient shares his predicament of leaving his family in distress on account of unpaid EMIs, bills and social responsibilities such as marriage as-well-as education of children. At this juncture, Akshay prods him for not thinking about his family when he had the time to do so and reminds the audience that a term plan of Rs. 1 Crore costs only Rs. 680 per month.
