Why is 'Joker' not being promoted?

The King and the Queen are in their places, but looks like the Joker has gone into hiding.u00a0Even with a superhit jodi like Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha in the lead, close on the heels of their last Rs 150 crore blockbuster Rowdy Rathore, it appears that no one wants to make hay while the sun is shining.

Just 15 days left to promote the film, surprisingly, most of the members of Shirish Kunder's cast and crew other than the aliens are too busy with other professional commitments.

Who's busy doing what

Akshay Kumar
He is not just acting in the film but also co-producing it. Akki appeared on the finale of a children's dance reality show recently but instead promoted his other home production, which is releasing much later. There was not a word about Shirish's film. He is also busy shooting for his other home production with Himesh Reshammiya.

Sonakshi Sinha
She appeared on one reality show to promote the film. Though Akki was in town, he didn't come along.

Minissha Lamba
The actress' spokesperson says Minissha has no knowledge of any promotional activity.

Shirish Kunder
He's gone incommunicado, living day in and day out in a post-production studio finishing the film.u00a0
