Jagathy’s life was the theme of the advertisement. The one-minute-long advertisement directed by Nidhin featured Jagathy’s reunion with his old friends at college. When his son Rajkumar acted as young Jagathy, Gokulam Gopalan appeared as his best friend.

Mathukutty, Jagathy’s close friend and classmate in Mar Ivanios College and favourite teacher Mercy also acted in the advertisement.

“ Like all Malayalees, I also want Jagathy’s comeback to the films. This television advertisement is a small initiative to meet this purpose,” said Gokulam Gopalan.

Jagathy was in full of energy during the one-day long shooting.

Earlier, Jagathy appeared in the television advertisement of Silver Storm water theme park with his family.
