'Ad'man, Ghai! Audiences unhappy with Yaadein...

Jackie Shroff in Yaadein Film audiences are cheesed off with the blatant in-film advertisments in Subhash Ghai's Yaadein, especially the repulsive close-up of a keychain bearing the logo of a cola drink during Rati Agnihotri' s death scene as she hands over the keys to hubby Jackie Shroff.

Jackie even wears an AXN T-shirt in a film-still of the film.

Moreover, Hrithik and Kareena have refused to accompany Subhash Ghai for promotions. The reason being cited is that they weren't happy with the outcome and were too embarrassed to promote it.
