It seems filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor is getting goosebumps before the release of his film 8x10 Tasveer this week. He has actually sent an email to all the critics, making an "unusual request" to them to not reveal the end of his latest film, as it's a "thriller and a murder mystery". We have reproduced the email text verbatim below:
Hi,
This is Nagesh. I just want to make a personal, humble and unusual request to you that you not divulge the ending of my film in your reviews.
Given that it is a thriller and a murder mystery, its USP is the finale. I hope to reach as wide an audience as possible and I fear that the revelation of the climax may turn many viewers away.
Thanking you in advance.
Regards
Nagesh Kukunoor
Now, considering that Nagesh's last release had bombed, (something called Bombay to Bangkok) and the fact that his Aashayein is still waiting to be shown on the big screen, this email was a smart move. Just that, it should work. Knowing our critics, it might just not. All the best, Nagesh!
