Pan Masala is an after-meal mouth freshener in the form of seeds and contains the Areca nut (supari) which is very addictive, in the league of caffeine, tobacco and alcohol when it comes to addictive properties.

The campaign was created by DDB Mudra, India's first and largest integrated marketing communications and services network.

"Our choice of Pierce Brosnan as brand ambassador for Pan Bahar is in line with our campaign idea of 'Pehchan Kamyabi Ki' (the mark of success). Thanks to his previous avatar as James Bond, Mr Brosnan is seen the world over as a symbol of sophistication, suavity and success. And Pan Bahar, as his choice, reflects that aspiration in the consumer base we were targeting," said Sambit Mohanty of DDB Mudra.

Apparently the Pan Bahar commercial was shot in Texas, where Brosnan currently also has been shooting for his role in the new AMC series The Son, a multi-generational epic tale of the story of America’s birth as a superpower through the bloody rise and fall of one Texas family. Brosnan will play Eli, the charismatic patriarch of the McCullough family, hence the beard. Follow the fun Brosnan has in Texas via his Instagram page.
