Actor Nana Patekar, who stars inupcoming film Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal, says he does notbelieve in promoting films.
"I never promote a film. I don't like doing it. Thereare people who promote the film saying it is a very good filmand it gets released in thousands of theatres, does businessfor two-three days but is criticised by people as it is a badfilm," Nana told reporters last evening.
Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal, directed by Priyadarshan,casts Shreyas Talpade and Paresh Rawal besides Nana and isreleasing tomorrow.
"Promotion is not my job. My job is to act and dub. Buttoday things have changed. Everyone promote their films; Idon't like to beg to people to watch the film. But I stronglyfeel if a film is good then people should watch it," the61-year-old actor said.
Nana said when he entered the filmdom, film promotionswere not as extensive and dedicated as they are today.
"This (extensive promotion) was not the scene some yearsback. Earlier films used to run for 25 weeks or so and now itruns for three days recovers all the money. I feel people willlike this film but I don't know for how long will it run," hesaid.
On his take on publicising films, Nana said, "When Ilike the film I will promote it...It is not necessary thatothers also will like it. I think even public through the wordof mouth should give their opinion about a film," he said.
It is for the first time that Nana has teamed up withPriyadarshan.
"The way the film has shaped up is good. It is a cleanfilm. There are no abuses or skin show. There is no cheapdancing and all in the film. I liked the way Priyan makesfilm," Nana said.
