Pepsi’s latest TVC hit the screen yesterday and we’re all sinking into nostalgia. The commercial features icons from 5 generations like Zoheb Hassan, Shahi Hasan, Wasim Akram, Reema and Kashmir the Band, a quick walk through evolution of Pepsi and some memorable Pakistani tunes. While the teaser of the ad was released 4 days back, Fawad Khan dropped a hint about the campaign quite earlier with the following post on his social media.

People were quick to take notice when Zoheb Hassan and Shahi Hasan also commented on the post.

EP's Pepsi BoB performance wasn't enough, I want Fawad and Zoheb to perform something together! 😍

However, there was no way Pepsi was stopping at this. So, the teaser of the ad was released a couple of days back and people were screaming with excitement.

No matter who was looking hotter, this walk through the memory lane by Pepsi got us all overwhelmingly emotional and we can’t stop watching it on repeat. Thank you Pepsi!
