Audible's new ad films featuring Nakuul Mehta and Rithvik Dhanjani, showcases the diverse range of content available on the platform

• Audible's has launched two new ad films featuring TV actors Nakuul Mehta and Rithvik Dhanjani.
• Conceptualized by Audible and executed by Media Monks, the ads will air on over 60 channels across genres.

Amazon's Audible has launched two new ad films, featuring TV stars Nakuul Mehta and Rithvik Dhanjani, showcasing the wide and diverse range of audio and spoken word content available on Audible, which listeners can enjoy whenever, wherever they like.

Rithvik and Nakuul have lent their voices to two new, already popular free-for-all Audible Originals available on Audible.in. You can listen to Rithvik on Buri Nazar, a seemingly light family drama with a supernatural twist (also featuring the irreplaceable Supriya Pathak and Sayani Gupta) and Nakuul on ‘Mine and Yours (Season 2),’ a modern love triangle where he competes with Kubbra Sait’s character for attention from Sayani Gupta’s character. This made them a natural choice for the films.

Conceptualized by Audible and executed by Media Monks, the ads will air on over 60 channels across genres like Hindi General Entertainment, Hindi Movies, Hindi and English News, Hindi Music, English lifestyle, English Movies, Infotainment as well as on live sports like the India-New Zealand test match from 3rd to 7th December 2021 and the English Premier League between 27th Nov and 28th December 2021.

The first film opens with Rithvik immersed in a rigorous workout, getting his “beast mode on”, listening to epic battle titles available on Audible, including Suno Mahabharat Devdutt Pattanaik ke Saath and Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. Nakuul on the other hand is more focused on “working out” his mind by listening to calming and relaxing titles such as Think Like A Monk written by Jay Shetty, A Guide to Stress Free Living written by Om Swami and Deepak Chopra's Mind Body Zone: Living Outside the Box. In the end, we see Rithvik offering Nakuul some easy workout tips. Dodging him, Nakuul quickly switches on Audible’s Sleep Collection and nods off!


In the second film, Rithvik is seen lamenting over his healthy snack, enviously eyeing a batch of freshly baked cookies that Nakuul has prepared, while enjoying his favourite titles on Audible, like The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, Neil Gaiman and Dirk Maggs’s The Sandman, Sherlock Holmes written by Stephen Fry, Sapiens written by Yuval Noah Harari and Scion of Ikshvaku written by Amish. Rithvik, who is still drooling over the cookies, teases him and says his next listen will be The Hunger Games written by Suzanne Collins on Audible next, and runs off stealing some cookies from Nakuul’s tray!”


Both films bring out the crackling chemistry and camaraderie between Rithvik and Nakuul while highlighting their impeccable comic timing. In spite of having diametrically opposite personalities who enjoy completely different activities and audiobooks (which really helps showcase the expansive range of titles available on Audible) their close and playful relationship comes alive on screen, and make the films a pleasure for fans, or really anyone to enjoy!

Shailesh Sawlani, Country Head, Audible India, said, "We recently launched an all-you-can-listen Plus catalogue for our members featuring over 15,000 Audible Originals, audiobooks and podcasts across languages and genres. We also expanded our free selection to include hundreds of Audible Originals and several thousand podcasts; all this in addition to our always-expanding Premium Plus library, featuring over 200,000 titles. Our ad films showcase how we have something for everyone in our diverse slate, including titles featuring household names like Rithvik and Nakuul and other popular talent. We hope that the viewers enjoy our ad films, brought to life by these very talented and spirited actors."

Nakuul Mehta said, “Working on these ad films for Audible with my friend Rithvik was just pure fun! I personally really enjoy the audio medium and love how our films capture this very real audio truth - that people with different personalities and choices can still find something to love and bond over on Audible! I recently narrated the second season of the Audible Original 'Mine and Yours' which is available absolutely free for everyone. I hope our audiences enjoy the ad films and our audio shows on Audible as much as we enjoyed making them.”

Rithvik Dhanjani said, "I recently recorded an Audible Original show 'Buri Nazar' which truly helped me realize the power of audio. The entire process of working on the show was so exhilarating for me and the great response we have received makes the experience that much sweeter. With these latest ad films, I hope we showcase how effortless and entertaining listening to Audible can be, whenever and wherever you feel like. It was great fun to work with Nakuul on them; it didn't feel like we were shooting at all!”
