Figaro Olive Oil has rolled out a new campaign for its rebranded Multipurpose Pure Olive Oil, bringing in actor-comedian Sunil Grover as the face of the launch.

The campaign leans on a familiar tension in FMCG marketing: how do you modernise a brand’s look without making loyal consumers feel like they’ve lost something along the way? Figaro’s answer is to pair its decades-long presence in Indian kitchens with Grover’s own reputation for versatility – an actor known for slipping easily between comedy, mimicry and dramatic roles becomes the natural face for a product that positions itself as equally at home in cooking, haircare and skincare.
The core message is straightforward: the packaging has changed, the product hasn’t. Figaro is betting that consumers already trust the oil enough that a refreshed visual identity reads as evolution rather than reinvention — new avatar, same legacy.
Casting Grover does double duty here. His public persona already carries the “does it all, does it well” quality the brand wants associated with the product itself, making him less a celebrity endorsement and more a walking metaphor for multipurpose use.
For a category where olive oil brands often compete on health claims or premium positioning, Figaro’s approach stands out for leading with trust and familiarity instead — using heritage as the anchor and versatility as the hook, rather than chasing a purely aspirational pitch.
The campaign is live on Instagram, with wider rollout expected across the brand’s usual marketing channels.
