Imtiaz Ali on actors avoiding promotions

In an interview with India Today, Imtiaz was asked about the trend of stars like Shah Rukh Khan avoiding media interactions to promote their projects. Recently, even Diljit Dosanjh skipped promotions for Main Vaapas Aaunga. Reacting to his absence, the filmmaker said, "I can’t represent the whole film industry on this one, but for us, Diljit is not here because he’s doing shows abroad, Sharvari is not there because she is shooting abroad. When we got a release date, we knew this was going to happen. In fact, when we were taking the dates from Diljit to shoot for this film, we knew that he was going to perform at concerts when we would be releasing this film.”
