WWE star The Great Khali features in bizarre cement advert

Super strength appears to come with its own problems, as evidenced by former WWE wrestling star, The Great Khali.

In an advert for Ambuja cement, the Indian-born wrestler shows just how much unintentional trouble big muscles can get you into.

By-products of such bulkiness include falling through walls, roofs collasping and catastrophic dinner parties.

Being really rather popular in his native India, The Great Khali's advert racked up over half a million views in just three days.

Bobby Pawar, managing director and chief creative officer of Publicis Worldwide South Asia, told Campaign India: “We put one [Ambula's] strength against the other... the biggest Indian, The Great Khali. It's a mockumentary on his life, a hilarious take on what his life would have been like, in a home that's not built to handle his strength."

The Great Khali's real name is Dalip Singh Rana and he was the first Indian professional wrestler on WWE, at one stage challenging John Cena for the World Championship title.

Rana already has four Hollywood credits and two Bollywood ones to boot. After 15 years in the US, he returned to India in order to start a wrestling academy.
