Mumbai: Some things in life can’t be understood. They just need to be loved. Like KFC India’s all chicken, no bun ‘Double Down Burger’. In KFC India’s latest campaign for the limited edition double down burger, Colonel Sanders has one clear message for chicken lovers - ‘Issey samjho mat, bas khao’. There are no questions to be asked about the Double Down Burger, and nothing else to be done except to indulge your cravings.

KFC India & partner countries CMO Aparna Bhawal said, "Innovation, while being distinctive, is at the core of everything we do at KFC. When you talk to any chicken lover, they’ll tell you that more is more! The limited edition all chicken, no bun Double Down Burger is for this tribe. It is an offering where you just satisfy your cravings, no questions asked! Like the OG Colonel Sanders says in the new campaign, “isse samjho mat, bas khao”. We are already seeing great offtake for the Double Down Burger, as chicken lovers across the country indulge in this cult product.”

The TVC features a set of identical twins, staring at the double down burger in front of them in amazement. There’s a volley of questions as they try and decode the all-chicken, no-bun burger in front of them. “Bro, cheez kya hai ye?”  asks the first, to which his twin replies “Bro, ye kya hai cheez?”  

One insists “upar chicken, neeche bhi chicken”, while the other is convinced that the Double Down Burger has “neeche chicken, upar bhi chicken”. They debate on whether “chicken hi bun hai” or “bun hi chicken hai”. To which, the iconic Colonel Sanders playfully tells them that “yehi toh fun hai”.

Ogilvy India CCO, North Ritu Sharda said, “The campaign idea came from the name itself. Double Down. And that's what we played with. The double irony of a set of twins, discovering the marvel of the Double Down Burger in a really fun, crazy, way. To quote a dialogue from the film "Upar chicken, neeche bhi chicken! Nahi re. Neeche chicken, upar bhi chicken!" Which one is it really?”.

The limited edition KFC double down burger has two juicy chicken fillets with delicious sauces (spicy & creamy dynamite mayo and sriracha), and crunchy veggies in between.

The campaign will run on TV and digital platforms, along with a robust 360-degree plan.
