I would`ve loved to be a footballer, says RanbirIf it had not was showbiz for Ranbir Kapoor, it will definitely has been football, says the actor, who's endorsing a campaign at the sport.

"Football is life for me and if not an actor, I MIGHT have loved to be a footballer. It teaches team work, determination and discipline except being such an exhilarating sport," Ranbir said in a press statement.

The 29-year-old is the face of a brand new campaign by Pepsi. The campaign begins with a football-themed ad featuring Ranbir.

"I am thrilled that Pepsi is bringing the enjoyment of football to India and am delighted to join this campaign," he added.

The television commercial, to head on air Saturday, will see a tender football enthusiast giving a cheeky respond to Ranbir, who questions his passion for football. It ends with a lovely take of Ranbir displaying his football skills, with hilarious results.

"Football is gaining immense popularity in India and being a real youth soul-mate, Pepsi is proud to be related to the sport," said Deepika Warrier, executive director (Marketing), PepsiCo Beverages, India.
