Real Kashmir Football Club actor Khusshal Maggo opens up about stepping into the Advertising world!

Actor Khusshal Maggo, who was last seen in the series Real Kashmir Football Club on SonyLIV, is gradually making his mark in the advertising industry. Within a short span of time, the actor has appeared in three consecutive ad campaigns, signalling his growing visibility on screen.

His journey in the ad space started with a Valentine’s Day campaign for Cadbury. Soon after, he featured in a prominent commercial for CEAT, where he shared the frame with acclaimed filmmaker Zoya Akhtar. Most recently, he has been seen in a new campaign for Maaza. With each project, Maggo is steadily strengthening his presence, emerging as a familiar face that both brands and audiences are beginning to recognise.
Speaking about working with director Shashank Chaturvedi, popularly known as Bob, who helmed all three campaigns, Maggo says,
“He has an exceptional knack for making even the most complex scenes appear simple through his calm and intuitive approach to direction. The trust he places in his actors gives you the confidence to perform at your best. Even in the middle of a hectic shoot, he manages to create an environment that feels relaxed, focused and creatively liberating.”.

Recalling his experience of sharing screen space with Zoya Akhtar, he adds,
“Working with Zoya was truly memorable. She brings such clarity and elegance to the set. Watching the way she approaches storytelling and performance was a learning experience in itself. I feel fortunate to have had the chance to work alongside someone whose work I’ve admired for a long time.”
At present, Maggo is busy auditioning for new projects and going through several scripts, hoping to soon finalise his next venture.
