When 9 out of 10 people in Karachi trust and use Shan, you're not just filming an ad , you're capturing a story that's already being lived in every home, every street, and every muhalla.

This is a small glimpse into the people behind the camera who made it happen. The production crew and the teamwork that rarely make it to the screen.

With Dettol Cool, the brief was simple, make people feel the freshness through the screen. The kind of cooling relief every Pakistani understands the second summer hits.

From humid streets to heat-heavy frames, every shot was designed to capture that one universal craving to feel fresh again. Because when the weather feels unforgiving, freshness becomes more than just a message. It becomes the story itself powered by the perfect jingle.

This summer, Haath hai uthana tu Dettol Cool say nahana.

So What’s Next.

Kabhi idhar. Kabhi udhar.

It’s always the smallest, most unnoticed moments that carry the biggest impact.
The everyday touches, the in-betweens we rarely think about, until they become a story worth telling.

Here’s a look behind the scenes of how those fleeting moments were captured, crafted, and brought to your screens for Dettol Pakistan. So, What’s Next?

A love letter to Karachi, just as it is.

From early call times to chasing real moments in real streets, this city gave us more than we could frame. Told through a poetic tribute that echoes its soul, we captured a different story, a different flavor in every corner, and brought it to you with this latest film for Shan.

Here’s to the city that never sleeps!

TCF, a beautiful journey that will stay with us forever, was brought to life by the brave brand team at ATR, asquare communications, and What’s Next. Inspired by Snakes & Ladders and guided by the line “Soch samjh kar chaal chala,” every move in this film was made with purpose.

This journey was shaped by people who trusted the process and pushed the work forward.

Thank you to TCF for backing the idea from the very first move.
To ATN (Hira & Dania) for sharpening the vision and helping it rise.
To Umair Nasir for anchoring the film in real emotion.
To MoAzmi for bringing energy and precision to every frame.
And to Zainab & Shayan for adding heart, belief, and soul to the story.
And our star, Noor Pari, whose little steps led the story, and made everyone walk along.

What came together on screen is the result of collaboration, trust, and many thoughtful moves behind the scenes.

Here’s a glimpse of that journey. So What’s Next?

Rox, nothing short of a milestone.

When the brief landed, so did a mix of excitement and disbelief. The idea was bold. The expectations are even bolder. CGI at this scale? High-intensity stunts, massive sets, ambitious post-production, all at a local level? It felt like a dream that dared us to chase it. The standards were high, but the goal was clear: we will wim through floods, fly past tornadoes, and never look back.

To bring this world to life, we assembled two powerhouse post teams and, with Ahsan Rahim steering the ship, pushed every boundary we could. The action was driven by the precision and grit of stunt director Mehmood Shah , whose expertise turned ambition into controlled chaos on set, and with Ahsan Rahim at the helm, we achieved the eccentric. Matching that energy was Hania Aamir, whose commitment to every frame, every movement, and every detail elevated the film beyond expectation.

A collective effort that had to be shared with the viewers, here’s a sneak peek at what went on behind the scenes! So What’s Next?

It all starts with a touch. When Dettol decided to explore hygiene with a playful edge, we stepped in to join the message.
