Defending her filmmaker husband Aamir Khan, first time director Kiran Rao says Anusha Rizvi, who has disassociated herself from "Peepli Live" over the credit controversy, was aware of all the promotional strategies designed for the movie.

"Anusha was very much aware of the promotional strategies. She had shot all the trailers herself. It was a decision taken by the entire team together. I am not aware how she feels about it now," said Kiran.

She is gearing up for the release of her directorial debut "Dhobi Ghat" and says her film is an art house movie and might not have as much mass appeal as "Peepli Live" because the latter was in many ways a mainstream cinema.
