Center fresh has collaborated in a first-of-its-kind partnership with Dharma 2.0, the arm of Dharma productions focused on creating ad films. The digital film ‘Parda’ explores the magic of boy-girl first meetings with the world of Center fresh’s fresh breath confidence but with a Dharma twist.

The campaign collaboration has been facilitated by Wavemaker India, with support on the creative front from Ogilvy India.
The first digital film, titled “Parda”, in the series stars Anjali Sivaraman with popular actor and dancer, Shantanu Maheshwari, in leading roles.
