Dairy brand Amul has marked the release and growing buzz around Saif Ali Khan’s latest film ‘Kartavya’ with a new topical, continuing its long-running tradition of responding to major moments in Indian pop culture.
Shared on Amul’s official Instagram page, the artwork features the brand’s signature animated style, with a caricature of Saif Ali Khan dressed in a cream suit and dark sunglasses.
Adding its trademark wordplay, the topical carries the headline “BUTTERVYA,” blending the title Kartavya with Amul butter.
The tagline reads, “Amul FULFILS ITS DUTY.”
Netflix India commented, “no one butter for this than Saif.”
Red Chillies Entertainment also praised the creative, writing, “Amul ne bhi apna kartavya nibha diya” (Amul has also fulfilled its duty).
Actor Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan’s wife, reposted the caricature on her Instagram stories and wrote, “My love. Always the best.”

Speaking to ANI about the project, Saif Ali Khan described the film as “a heroic, moral tale” supported by meaningful storytelling.
“The production house is quite strong, especially with Shah Rukh Khan’s banner, which has consistently backed meaningful stories. It’s a heroic, moral tale. This film is another such example, much like Bakshak, which they previously produced. And Pulkit is a very good director. When I read this story, I liked it a lot,” Saif said.
The actor also spoke about the filmmaking process and working environment on the project.
