A video of actor Vikrant Massey, arguing with a cab driver, went viral on social media on Thursday, May 9. In the video, Vikrant was seen getting into a heated argument with the cab driver over high fare. While many thought the fight was real, some speculated that it was for some brand promotion. Well, the video was indeed a part of brand endorsement for a ride-hailing app.

As per a report in PTI, Vikrant has been appointed the brand ambassador for the app for the advertising campaign.

The viral video opens with an angry cab driver recording a selfie video and says, “Mera naam Ashish hai. Mai ek cab driver hu. Maine apne passenger ko unke location pe phuncha diya hai. Aur vo paise nahi de rahe hai. Behas baazi lar rahe hai ulta. Gaali galoch kar rahe hai (My name is Ashish. I am a cab driver. I have dropped my passenger to his destination but he is not ready to pay. He is arguing with me and using foul language)."

He then moves his camera to Vikrant who asks the driver, “Gaali galoch kar rahe hai? Camera kyun nikal diya bhai? Dhamka rahe ho tum? Jayaz baat hi to kar rajha hu na mai? Yeh achanak se paise kaise badh gaye? Yeh nahi chalega (Using foul language? Why are you recording this, buddy? Are you trying to threaten me? I am simply discussing the issue, right? How did the fare suddenly increase? This won't work)''.
