Mumbai: KFC fans and Biryani lovers in the country are in for a tasteful treat as Colonel Sanders grants their wishes in true KFC style – with the all-new KFC Biryani Bucket. In a unique combination, KFC’s signature chicken now comes with flavourful Biryani rice and its nothing short of the biryani of your dreams.

The quirky campaign, featuring actor Piyush Mishra, has been conceived by Ogilvy. The film opens with Colonel Sanders destressing at a laughter club and laughing away, when a fellow participant, Mishra, asks him how while KFC’s fried chicken is fantastic, when is he planning to make biryani. Colonel’s struggles begin as he gets questioned by fans asking 'Biryani Kab Banaoge?' practically everywhere that he goes! He rises and heads straight to the kitchen, to whip up a bucketful of KFC Biryani, before joyously announcing that 'Biryani Loverzz…. Ab wait hai overzzz!'

“There is something certainly warm and familiar about a Biryani, just as there is no greater joy than holding a bucket full of KFC chicken. The campaign film is a close representation of just how much KFC fans wanted us to bring together two of their greatest loves – their favourite KFC chicken and flavourful biryani," said KFC India's CMO Moksh Chopra. "We are thrilled to render a KFC take on this beloved cuisine, and the KFC Biryani Bucket is an earmark in our journey of designing innovative products.”

“A KFC version of the Biryani was an idea whose time had come," commented Ogilvy North's chief creative officer, Ritu Sharda. "The KFC page was reflecting this craving from people for a while. So, when KFC finally dished up its own twist on the cult-favourite Biryani - all our campaign really had to say was: You wanted it. We got it.”
