But wait, hold on! How come people are not catching on to this?
Here’s the truth behind Ranbir Kapoor’s phone-throwing video:
It is a publicity stunt for a phone ad. The video of originally posted by the popular paparazzi account Viral Bhayani.

A cleverly crafted stunt that will serve two purposes in one shot, phone advertisement as well as it will get Ranbir Kapoor some clout for his upcoming movie animal.
Earlier, Anushka Sharma also used a similar tactic to garner publicity for her collaboration with Puma.
Initially, she put the sportswear brand Puma on blast for using her photos. “I am not your ambassador,” She wrote.
And what next? She announced a day later that Puma has made her the ambassador for their brand.
Not very slick huh! Whether this marketing strategy was a hit or miss we can’t tell because Anushka and Puma both were trolled after the public stunt played out.
The moral of the story is don’t make a fool out of people. It doesn’t sell anymore.
