Butt-tameezi?

Not really, the producer of No Smoking is just taking his film very seriously. He's going to fine his distributors if he catches them smoking

After banning smoking on the sets of No Smoking, producer of the film, Kumar Mangat, has now gone a step ahead. He's trying to apply the rule to his distributors as well. What remains to be seen is if Mangat intends to allow only non-smoking audiences to watch his film!

At an all-India conference of distributors Kumar Mangat made an announcement stating that distributors would be fined if he heard about them smoking. This rule will be in force until the time No Smoking is screened in the theatres. Says Mangat, "I have requested my distributors across India to give up smoking. If not forever, at least till the time the film is running in theatres. I've told them that if I see any of them smoking, I will fine them Rs 500 each."

Obviously, distributors aren't used to such rules. "Everyone was shocked to hear about this rule, they all looked at each other, but later they realised that I was pretty serious about it. Eventually, they agreed to it. I feel we must practise whatever we are preaching."

Mangat is happy that smoking in public places has been banned in Chandigarh recently, and the same has happened in the UK as well. He says, "We have been approached to organise a premiere of No Smoking in London. It's good if people realise the hazards of smoking."
