"I liked his (Raja's) attempt, it was a little Europeanin flavour, and the drama could be a bit more, and I think hegenerally avoids drama. I think the palette of the film was alittle western, I have also got some good reviews, but thensome things are really not in your control."The actor also feels the movie could have been marketedwell.
"I don't think it was even publicised correctly. Ididn't see enough buzz around the film. It's ok doinginterviews, but you've to show the trailer, show hoardings,spend some money.
"These days, people don't want to spend moneyon marketing, they send the actors to 'Bigg Boss' or 'ComedyNights with Kapil' to talk about the movie, thinking it'llhelp, but it won't." PTI JUR KKP NPSHD.
