Description
On April Fools’ Day, a mockumentary featured the iconic George Thekkumootil from the beloved late-2000s Malayalam sitcom Akkara Kazhchakal. The film follows a quirky salesman promising players the ultimate BGMI experience—offering UC top-ups, elite passes, exclusive skins, and premium vehicles. His pitch is simple: all he needs is the player's "Money and Account" in exchange for guaranteed Chicken Dinners.
This mockumentary-style campaign, paired with a website, delivered a crucial message: never trust unauthorized sources for in-game purchases.
The result? The world’s most viral gaming ad.
