Master mind behind the creation of Zoo Zoo


During IPL season2, we all, along with the interesting matches, even enjoyed the Vodafone advertisement. Where complete white tiny funny creatures, with iconic name ZooZoo, in white from head to toe with bulge stomach and gigantic head similar to an animation made all of us to smile with their silly activities.

Curiosity got the better of me and with little search, I got the few facts associated with it, thus sharing the same with you all.

Actually Vodafone during IPL Season2 planned to present their product to the audience in different and new way. To give the shape to their plan, Mr.Rajiv Rao Executive Creative Director of Ogilvy & Mather agency generated the concept of Zoo Zoo.

The ads were shot by Prakash Varma and were produced by Nirvana Films of Banglore, who recorded it within 10 days. The pre-production work happened within a month with cost of around 3 crores rupees. and new idea was involved in making of the set too, made the look  of the sets larger than life, to make the characters look small.

I was much surprised to know that The Zoozoo’s are small-bodied, thin women as an actors, who are covered in layers of specialized white fabric. Each facial expression was made of rubber and pasted on the actors. Body was stuffed with foam especially around the stomach, and perpex a kind of hard material were used for the head. And thus silly and humorous character Zoozoo was created.

Mr.Rajiv Rao is also the master mind, who made the world's ugliest dog as national pug dog popularly known as Hutch pug dog. Who selected the  Pug dog as a part of Hutch ads matching to the slogan “Wherever you go, our network follows".

Whenever i happen to see the Vodafone ads, couldn't control myself from appreciating, wonderful work of brilliant mind behind the creation of Zoozoo.
