Our favourite Bollywood celebrities try everything for the movie promotion. The Bollywood has explored numerous techniques in order to promote their movies. But considering the strategies they use in the movie promotions it must be unique and successful, but sometimes our celebs cross the line and go to have a bizarre style for the movie promotion. Recently Shah Rukh Khan went for a train journey from Mumbai to Delhi in order to promote his upcoming film Raees. The actor’s journey was full of fandom, media and his memories – he recalled when he used to travel in train as a young man. Unfortunately, in order to catch glimpses of the Khan a man has lost his life at Vadodra station due to massive crowd and chaos. The news since then went viral and the fateful incident happened at the time when SRK was busy promoting Raees. But Shah Rukh is not the first person who promoted his movie at train. Much before that in 2015, Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Imtiaz Ali took a train from Mumbai to Delhi for the promotion of Tamasha. Crowds went mad that time also, but fortunately no unfortunate mishap took place. We’ll take you down memory lane to recall how B-Town celebrities go to have bizarre techniques for the movie promotions: Film: Ghajini: 100 employees of Big Cinemas shaved their heads only to promote Aamir Khan’s new look from the movie Ghajiini. In the movie Ghajiini, Khan portrayed role of a bald psychotic man with tattoos all over his body. It was also main features of the leading man and Ghajiini was a super hit movie of 2008.

She also shared her engagement card with a wedding invitation. Film: Khamoshiyan: Sapna Pabbi became a part of a late night social media chat with men to promote her erotic thriller Khamoshiyan. The questions however, were filtered. Did that help? We’re still wondering! Film: Raaz 3: Bipasha Basu promoted her movie Raaz 3 by having some ‘superstitions’ stuffs as the movie Raaz 3 was solely based on this subject matter. So she used to distribute ‘neembu-mirchi’ to autowalas as a promotional campaign of the movie Raaz. Film: Jism 2: This was a dream come true for every Sunny Leone fan, as in order to promote Sunny Leone’s debut film, Jism 2 the makers had auctioned for the Sunny undergarments. Film: Agyaat: The makers of the movie used a dummy dead body for the promotion of horror movie Agyaat. During the promotion the dead bodies were hanging from the hoardings of the film. Blood was flowing out in the poster. This can be termed as one of the bizarre kind of movie promotions. Film: Jhootha Hi Sahi John became love guru for the promotion of movie Jhootha Hi Sahi. So in the poster John mentioned his phone number so that fans can speak with John as well they can seek advice on relationships and love from the love guru aka John. Film: Chance Pe Dance: Shahid Kapoor and Genelia D’Souza spent a whole night in a car only to promote their dance drama Chance Pe Dance. (For those of you who haven't seen the movie, Shahid was disappearing from the car later on). In this promotional venture the die-hearts Shahid fans just went crazy.
