It is very well known that, making a film is not a ‘piece of cake’. A lot of sincere efforts, full-time devotion and a lot of brainstorming thinking is required to create a masterpiece. Leaving all the pre-production to post-production work aside, the other most important part is marketing a film.
We have seen many times that more than content, the caste of the film is a major point for selling a film. There is always this fear of being outshined by a film, which has better marketing tactics.
