Mumbai: In an innovative method of film promotion star cast of `Life Partner` on Monday opted to sell tickets of the film at the ticket counter of a theatre in Mumbai.
It was an unusual sight for the movie buffs, who noticed Fardeen Khan, Tushhar kapoor, Prachi Desai and Genelia D`souza selling tickets at the ticket counter for their movie at the Gaiety theatre.
Due to swine flu scare, the Maharashtra Government had declared closure of all the theatres and multiplexes for three days and the release of movies like `Life Partner` and `Kaminey` was postponed from the scheduled Friday to Monday.
`Life Partner` producer Abbas of the Abbas-Mastan duo said that although they would have incurred loses due to the deferred release, they were still hopeful of making profit.
"Whatever response we received today from the public, it seems although we cannot incur the losses we had in these three crucial days, but I am sure we will manage to recover slowly," said Abbas.
As soon as the news spread, chaos prevailed at the ticket counters with the fans trying to catch a glimpse of these and buy tickets from them.
Tusshar Kapoor said that as their film received good collections in other cities, they wanted the same from Mumbai.
"It has been written in the history of Bollywood that if the film is reported as flop, then even if Saturday is a major holiday, people will never go to watch it. The collections of our film almost tripled in few cities after it released. That is why we are here so that people of Mumbai can make our film equally successful like other cities," said Tusshar Kapoor.
Scripted and Directed by Rumy Jaffery it is a romantic comedy and has Govinda in the lead. It is the story of two couples struggling with their life partners and lovers.
