SRK has a new plan for Chennai Express

If the promotion of  Chennai Express  is not yet in-your-face, it is for a reason.

"There have been a few major events, launches and press conferences that have taken place for  Chennai Express  but beyond that it has all been under check. Shah Rukh feels that there is no point thrusting any kind of marketing or promotion down the audience's throat when the film is heating up on its own merits," informs a source, "This is the reason why there hasn't been anything extravagant around the entire campaign so far."  This is unlike Shah Rukh's last production  Ra.One  where more than six months had gone into promoting the film with a marketing budget that went into tens of crores.  "It was required there since the super-hero genre was being introduced to the audience. It was a conscious call back then to be very
