African Elephant

In the IDBI Bank ad, there are two kids playing football. One of the kid kicks the ball in the jungle and viola, there is an elephant who returns the ball. It turns out the elephant is really a parent and she gets her kid to play with these kids.

So far so good... but why the hell was it an African elephant? Desi hathi nahin mila kya?

What do the ad makers in India think of themselves? Bhagwan Jane... :-)
