Imagine this: suave Hrithik Roshan strides through sun-drenched European streets, his sleek VIP suitcase gliding effortlessly by his side. But this isn’t a fashion montage – it’s a pulse-pounding chase.
Shadows lengthen, cobblestones slick with danger, as international thieves hunt Roshan and the priceless gem nestled within his seemingly ordinary luggage.
This is the heart of VIP’s 2016 “When You Are Very Important” campaign, a masterclass in transforming a suitcase into a symbol of resilience and adventure.
Beyond Features, a Feeling: Redefining the VIP Traveler
This campaign wasn’t about rattling off specs or showcasing durability tests. It was about forging an emotional connection, whispering to the aspiring adventurer within: “VIP isn’t just a bag, it’s your partner in conquering life’s thrilling quests.”

Roshan isn’t your average businessman cautiously clutching his briefcase. He’s a whirlwind of charisma and agility, leaping across rooftops, transforming stairs into slides, and using his VIP suitcase as both shield and weapon.
The action isn’t just eye-candy; it’s a metaphor for the challenges we all face, a reassurance that VIP stands strong even when the journey gets rough.
From Bollywood Heartthrob to Global Brand Ambassador
Roshan, with his effortless charm and international appeal, was the perfect embodiment of this new VIP persona. He wasn’t just selling a product; he was selling a feeling, a lifestyle.
And it worked.
“I am extremely honored to be an ambassador of a brand that I have known since my childhood. Shooting for this campaign gave me an opportunity to work with some of the best creative minds as well as a great stunt director, easily being one of the toughest action scenes that I have ever performed with a unique prop like a VIP strolley.”

More Than Sales Figures: A Journey of Importance

It told travelers, “We get it. Your dreams matter. And we’ll be there, every step of the way, with a suitcase built for life’s adventures.”
This campaign wasn’t just about selling bags; it was about selling the feeling of being important, of knowing that every journey, every chase, every dream matters. And that, perhaps, is the most valuable luggage any brand can offer.
So, the next time you see a VIP suitcase, remember – it’s not just luggage; it’s a passport to a world of adventure, where even the most ordinary journey can become an extraordinary odyssey. Just ask Hrithik Roshan, the ultimate VIP traveler.
