Promoting movies is one of the most difficult tasks for film stars as sometimes it often takes a lot of time. As important as it is for the actors to showcase their acting skills during the production of the film, it becomes an essential element to market the work at places while promoting it to the audiences. Recalling a similar incident, Will Smith revealed how he kept tabs on Tom Cruise’s press tour itineraries so that he could outdo him as the biggest film star in the world.
While both of them are one of the most known faces in the world, the competition between the two megastars is evident. However, this time it was not for a role or a performance. It was simply for the promotion of the movie, which is indeed a difficult task.
