On the Out of Home (OOH) front, innovative promotions like Auto By Chance has been launched in Mumbai, which will take place on 30 January. There will be 10 autos running across Mumbai and anyone who hails these autos will get a free ride to their destination.
The movie marks the debut of Zoya Akhtar as director and stars Farhan Akhtar, Konkana Sen Sharma as leads and Hrithik Roshan in a special appearance.
