The talented Abhay Deol, known for his brilliant performances and following against all the norms, finds shooting a film easier compared to getting involved in the pre-release promotional activities. Recently while promoting his upcoming Prakash Jha's political thriller 'Chakravyuh', The actor lashed out to media.

"It`s harder to promote than to shoot a film. You just have to be patient. It gets a little tiring, " he told reporters. "Anybody would get bored. There are so many publications, so many channels. It is also frustrating when there are silly stories that are completely false and everybody asking the same question legitimises them. You can put the sources and legitimize anything, " he added.

The 36-year-old was miffed with Prakash Jha for playing favourites and not taking interest in the promotion of the film. When asked, Abhay clearly refused to answer this said "Ask your sources". It was reported that he was angry with the director for giving more scope and footage to Arjun Rampal in ‘Chakravyuh'. But the actor still claims he is not upset with media.

"No I am not pissed off with the media at all. The media does what it has to do. If a paper has its integrity, then it won`t put story for TRP, as they say..." Abhay said.

When asked why doesn`t he open up and clear rumours by speaking to media, he said: "Then they will just call me preachy. Do you think they care? Don`t you want to cross check your stories before publishing? It doesn`t upset me."

Another reason why Abhay sounded little upset was maybe because his email account was hacked. Abhay is travelling out of Mumbai for more promotions, He will soon lodge an F.I.R in Cyber Crime division once he comes back.
