Housefull 4 Express: Piyush Goyal has a message for B-Town filmmakers

The team of Housefull 4 took promotions to another level by travelling on a special train from Mumbai to Delhi on an overnight journey. The train was adorned with posters of Housefull 4 from the engine till the end. This wouldn't have been possible without the support of the Indian Railways. In fact, it has been designed as a new move, termed as the 'Promotion on Wheels', that filmmakers can use for the promotions of their films. Union Railways Minister too urged other film celebrities to use this platform to reach out to more masses.
