Right after Faysal Qureshi spoofed Nargis Fakhri's controversial print ad, Hamza Ali Abbasi showed he is no less by going head-to-head against Fawad Khan in his new TVC!

In the latest commercial for a tea brand, Hamza boldly took a dig at Fawad Khan's recently endorsed brand 'Danedar' in which he is seen making tea for his wife.

Donning a grey curly wig and beard, Hamza sported the look of a 60-year-old man for the ad. And is seen reaching out to a female customer for a market test of his 'tastier' brand.

Convinced, the woman tries the two cups marked 'X' and 'Y' presented in front of her and while she is familiar with the taste of her brand, she chooses the other one which she has never tried.

Only after she had chosen her favourite cuppa tea -- of course, Hamza's brand -- the actor revealed his real identity, claiming she would have trusted his star-power more if he had told her which one was better. He said, "Pehle batata toh aap zaiqay ki nahi, meri maan letein."

Towards the end, the actor doesn't shy away from taking a jab at Fawad's endorsed tea brand saying, "Try karo Lipton aik bar, bhool jao gay Danedar."

Does it really mean celebrity endorsements play an important role in affecting the buyer's decision-making process?

Whatever the case may be, these brands have really made it difficult for us to choose between these two heartthrobs.

So, what will you have today? Hamza's cup of tea or Fawad's 'Danedar'?
