Cast of Fast Forward distributes pamphlets that carry this message to college students

Parents and teachers are likely to disagree with the idea of this movie promotion.

The star cast of the film Fast Forward, which releases this Friday, visited suburban colleges yesterday and distributed pamphlets that read Watch Fast Forward, it's worth bunking.

The cast Rehaan Khan, Akshay Kapoor, Bhavana Pani, Sabina Sheema and Siddhant Karnick visited Mithibai, NM, National and MMK College.

National College principalu00a0 Dinesh Panjuani said, "Siddhant is our ex-student and he came to meet me. He did not say that he would be distributing pamphlets that mentioned bunking.

But he did give me a movie poster. We discussed the possibility of inviting him over as a guest lecturer to talk about the days he spent as a struggler.

If they distributedu00a0 pamphlets outside the college premises, it's not in my hands."

Students speak

They are sending out a wrong message. I won't go for the film, as I didn't like the way they promoted it.

Yes, I did receive the Fast Forward leaflet, but I won't bunk college to see it. I will see it when I get the time.

The Other Side

Producer Anjum Rizvi said, "Students do bunk college to watch movies and this is merely a marketing gimmick. Kids will not go watch a movie just because we tell them.

They have minds of their own. We are merely reaching out to students because our movie is a youth-centric one."
