OYE PROMOTION PROMOTION OYE

Can I risk saying that the part of films I hate most, is promoting it?

It’s not about the ego, it’s not about projecting an image, it’s not about being lazy or anything else you might think. The truth is, I love making movies but I just don’t have it in me to sell them. I am an actor not a salesman, but most people seem to think that the two are one and the same.

I find promoting extremely tiring. It basically means I have to answer the same questions (and there are usually three at the most) a 1000 times, in the span of 8 to 9 hours.

It usually goes like this –

1. What is the film about?

2. How was it working with the director?

3. Are you having/had an affair …
