Budweiser India ropes in Siddhant Chaturvedi and Masaba Gupta, among others, for latest leg of its FIFA campaign

Budweiser, the Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) global brand, collaborated with four of India’s trailblazers for the latest leg of its FIFA 2022 campaign.

The campaign saw Siddhant Chaturvedi, Masaba Gupta, Santanu Hazarika, and Kiss Nuka come together to celebrate the shared passion and spirit of Budweiser and football with a war cry that unites people across borders– “The World Is Yours To Take.”

Sharing their journey to the top like never before, the celebrities dive into the trials and tribulations they faced, the triumphs they rejoiced, and the immense anticipation experienced before any big moment – just like a football player does as he makes his way from the tunnel to the field.

This comes after the brand's recent collaboration with the players– Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr. and Raheem Sterling, for unveiling their FIFA World Cup campaign’s hero film capturing the stories of these modern-day legends and inspiring millions across the globe. 

The #YoursToTake hero film, which encourages people to go for greatness by tackling curveballs and overcoming fears, was followed by the launch of the official FIFA 2022 anthem that featured Grammy-winning rapper Lil’ Baby.

Echoing the sentiment of “The World Is Yours To Take” this phase of the campaign highlights the unique, distinct journey of each of the four artists, but one thing unites them all- conquering their aspirations despite the lows of stardom. 

Vineet Sharma, VP Marketing – South Asia, AB InBev, said, “With over 35 years of collaboration with FIFA, Budweiser continues to create high energy consumer moments and conversations that shape the cultural fabric of the country. Through this campaign, The World Is Yours To Take, we want to engage with consumers, celebrate the greatness of the sport and the determination, courage it takes to achieve success. We have collaborated with four phenomenal stars – Siddhant Chaturvedi, Masaba Gupta, Santanu Hazarika and Kiss Nuka, who inspire millions, through their journeys, to follow their dreams despite the challenges that may come their way.”

Chaturvedi said, “Having collaborated with the brand in the past, I have always admired Budweiser’s role as a catalyst in bringing new talent to the fore and providing a global platform for local talent. With #TheWorldIsYoursToTake, the brand has given me the opportunity to celebrate and share my journey with my tribe, my fans and I hope this encourages them to have a “never-say-die” attitude when it comes to their passion, their calling.”

Gupta commented, “The world is quick to put us into boxes, dictate what we can and cannot do and most often, limit us from doing all the things we are passionate about and excel at. In all I do, I constantly try to push the envelope and express my truest, most authentic self- unconfined by society’s and the world’s expectations. I am delighted to collaborate with Budweiser for the #TheWorldIsYoursToTake campaign, giving me and countless others the motivation to chase our passions- as many as there may be.”

Kiss Nuka AKA Anushka Manchanda said, “The beginning of a new journey is marked by a mix of feelings – anticipation, excitement, but most importantly – Drive. #TheWorldIsYoursToTake is a campaign that inspires us to tune out the world and place complete trust in our dreams, work hard to hone our skills, be our true unabashed selves, and go for greatness. Collaborating with Budweiser has been a phenomenal experience, it’s a brand that taps into the roots of culture and music and gives a platform to the homegrown voices of India.”

Hazarika said, “Budweiser's FIFA campaign- the #WorldIsYoursToTake resonated with me immediately since I'm a strong believer in making the most of everything you have in life, no matter what obstacles you face. Having grown up in a small town where opportunities are limited, I can testify that this belief turn into reality, if you are really passionate about your dreams. I’m happy to associate with a brand like Budweiser that continues to a catalyst in enabling and empowering artists and the evolving culture in India. And therefore, I am ecstatic to not only collaborate with a brand like Budweiser but also to inspire the younger generation to achieve their dreams.”

The four ambassadors were also given the opportunity to watch the game live in Doha and cheer on their favourite teams.
