Koto is a Japanese musical instrument. Says Desai, “Though we had budget limitations, it was vital for us to get a Japanese koto player on ...

Quick Gun Murugun, which releases today, already has a problem on board. The lead actors, Rajendra Prasad and Rambha, are now sharing cold vibes. This is after Rajendra told a newspaper in the south that Rambha plays a bar dancer in the film and that she has a minuscule role. She has, therefore, refused to promote the film with him.
Rambha was in Mumbai yesterday, promoting the film. But Rajendra’s absence was conspicuous. She has apparently told the filmmakers that she would leave immediately if asked to promote the film with Rajendra. Only after Rambha had finished her promotional activity.
