Ahead of their comedy-drama Gulabo Sitabo's digital release, Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana have come up with a one-of-a-kind promotion ploy. It all started when Big B shared a video on Instagram by taking up a 'Gulabo Sitabo' tongue twister challenge to promote his upcoming film which is slated to release on Amazon Prime Video on June 12.

While Amitabh Bachchan had a hard time saying the tongue twister five times, he later nominated a bunch of other celebrities including his Gulabo Sitabo co-star Ayushmann Khurrana for the challenge.

Amitabh Bachchan vs Ayushmann Khurrana, who nailed the tongue twister challenge?

Amitabh Bachchan took up a challenge to repeat the aforementioned tongue twister five times, non-stop on Instagram. Although Big B, who launched the challenge on social media, could not complete it as he had a little bit of difficulty in saying the tongue twister five times, his co-star Ayushmann Khurrana nailed the challenge. While nominating Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Virat Kohli, Ranbir Kapoor, Kartik Aaryan and Bhumi Pednekar along with Ayushmann Khurrana to further take up the tongue twister challenge, Amitabh Bachchan captioned the post:

Bas 5 baar bolna hai yeh tongue twister.. Koshish karenge aap log .. Karenge toh Humari chandi ho jayegi.. Sivaye ek ke !

“गुलाबो की खटर-पटर से तितर-बितर सिताबो
सिताबो के अगर-मगर से उथल-पुथल गुलाबो”
