You have a film which you claim to be a big film with high ticket prices, which is coming on a big holiday like our film (Dilwale); we are only trying to spread awareness via promotions so that people come in numbers with their families, kids, friends, girlfriends. The promotions are only meant to inform people what they are getting into as now a days a film outing has become a costly affair".
Shah Rukh says promotions are a positive trend. "I want people to be informed before they spend money to watch my film because there is no question of returning the money. Films are products which are sold without being tested. Money spent to watch a film cannot be refunded. So every filmmaker should make it a point to inform people about the film so that they can set the right expectations," he said.
King Khan, who has developed a 20-day strategy to promote his upcoming release Dilwale revealed that the promotions help cement the opening weekend success - that can often make or break a film.
