Mumbrella Asia: Hugh Jackman escapes prison using ‘slimmest phone ever’ in ad for Micromax in India

Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman, most famous for playing sword-fingered superhero Wolverine in X-Men, stars in a new ad for a mobile phone company in India in which he uses “the slimmest phone ever” as a weapon to evade his captors.

The minute-long ad titled ‘Jail break’ for the Micromax Canvas Sliver 5, begins with the Australian actor being transferred out of the trunk of a car and into a jail cell. His captors search him, but cannot detect the phone he is carrying because it is so thin. He then uses it to escape.
