I don't have to tell you which genre 'Agyaat' falls into,” he added.<br /><br />Would he attribute the large number of prints to the hype created by the publicity?<br />“I think we did a good job of creating hype. Even the dummy corpses worked,” said Varma, who landed in a controversy after the publicity stunt for "Agyaat" saw around 15 dummies of dead bodies suspended from the movie's posters.</p>
