Pierce Brosnan just endorsed Pan Bahar and Twitter went berserk
Some called it proof of India's global reach and some related it to the notorious spitting habit.
Several Bollywood celebrities from Shah Rukh Khan to the likes of Priyanka Chopra and yesteryear stars like Feroz Khan have come ahead to endorse brands selling pan masala, with Pan Parag and Pan Bahar being the major competitors.
The image of any actor who portrays James Bond, is associated with the character’s choices, be it suits tailored to precision, swanky cars or the signature Martini, “shaken, not stirred.” But it seems Bond has found a liking for India’s very own pan masala.
Pierce Brosnan, a face associated with 007 for more than a decade, has featured in an ad for Pan Bahar, and Twitter is going berserk.
When the brand ambassador is also a satisfied consumer of the product, he puts down his signature. You mean Pierce Brosnan chews Pan Masala. pic.twitter.com/IqLVZFVv0K

*takes out Pan Bahar from his pocket*
*130,000 people die*
The surprise has left tweeple euphoric and is also being connected to the Make In India campaign and India's global outreach, while others imagined James Bond with the notorious spitting habit.

Although this has happened before with Hugh Jackman promoting Indian brand Micromax, James Bond in a Pan Bahar ad is completely another level of marketing.
