“So watch out as a Bachchan, or a Devgan or a Khiladi Kumar, or a Deadly Deol or a Jaggu Dada, or a Sallu Bhai or a Sanju Baba toss a villain or pack a punch which is at par or more powerful than by those from a Stallone, a Schwarzenegger, a Will Smith, or a Keanu Reeves or a Brad Pitt” says Sumeet Das, G.M. Marketing and Branding, he adds “March belongs to the Macho Men who left the villains with broken bones and jaws, March belongs to Matinee Idols who left the audiences mesmerized with dare-devil stunts, stratagems and sweeping panache. March belongs to Mega Stars who left the producers with swelling box-office receipts.“
