In a unique promotional campaign, the makers of Phir Hera Pheri have tied up with the sports channel ESPN to endorse the
upcoming FIFA world cup. The concept is somewhat like a promotional music video. But this one is more of a cross-branding

The specially shot ad shows Paresh Rawal as Baburao Apte asking Shyam (Suniel Shetty) to SMS Goal to 6464 as a part of the
‘Gyarah Hindustani Contest’ to win a trip to Germany for the FIFA Football World Cup.

And when he finally gets an SMS reply that he has won the contest, he is happy and excited. That’s until he sees the winner’s
name as Raju (Akshay Kumar). Raju had replaced the sim card in Baburao’s cell phone with his, thereby winning the contest.
