Here is a list of celebs who have taken an initiative to promote the film.

The energizer bunny of B-town is always one of the firsts to adapt to or set a trend. Ranveer was the first one to promote ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ in his own way. He hid in the restroom of Bhumi Pednekar’s hotel room. When she knocked on the door, he came out and talked about how sanitization is a big issue in our country and one of his favourite actors Akshay Kumar has made a movie highlighting this matter. Donning a quirky attire, the ‘Padmavati’ actor in a witty way asks Bhumi and everyone else to watch the movie with their families.

Arjun took to Instagram a video of him confessing his love to someone in front of him. He expresses how important the person is to him and how much he loves the person. The camera then pans to a toilet seat. That is when the cat is out of the bag and Arjun informs all viewers to go watch the film that has a sweet message and a wonderful story.

Varun Dhawan is the undisputed prince of comedy in tinsel town and has a great comic timing. The ‘Judwaa 2’ actor took to Instagram to share a promotional video for ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’. In the video, Varun is seen working out in the gym. He is seen doing pull-ups and just when he reaches 100, he immediately stops. He tells his trainer that he can’t do anymore as he wants to go to the toilet. That’s when his instructor says he can’t to which he asks why? The instructor reminds him that it is so because ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ releases on August 11, 2017.

Rhea Chakraborty, who was last seen in ‘Half Girlfiend’ also joined the league of celebs promoting ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’.
