Wrestling icon The Great Khali has teamed up with Netflix for a dynamic new promotional film celebrating WrestleMania’s arrival on the streaming platform. Conceptualised and produced by the independent creative agency One Hand Clap, the campaign showcases the legendary wrestler in a humorous and refreshingly relatable light.
The promo follows Khali as he tries his hand at modern-day activities — from making social media reels and appearing on reality TV to enduring a typical 9-to-5 office job. Despite these efforts, Khali confesses that none of these experiences match the sheer thrill of his WWE days. His dormant spark is reignited upon discovering that WrestleMania is now available on Netflix, leading to a spirited resurgence of his wrestling persona.
Blending emotional depth with light-hearted comedy, the film captures Khali at a reflective juncture in life, before WrestleMania’s return lights up his world once more.
Naveed Manakkodan, Co-Founder of One Hand Clap, remarked, “This is the third time we’ve worked with Khali, and all I can say is I can’t wait to work with him for the fourth time.”
Tarunark Vyas, Group Creative Manager at One Hand Clap, added, “The idea was about showing the human side of Khali — the gentle giant who needed a real spark to come alive again. WrestleMania gave us the perfect canvas to bring that story to life.”
Known for its bold creative vision and deep understanding of India’s evolving digital culture, One Hand Clap continues to break conventions. This latest campaign underscores the agency’s ability to craft culturally resonant stories that authentically connect with audiences in the digital age.
