Actor Sunny Deol, who is busy promoting his forthcoming family film "Yamla Pagla Deewana 2", which stars him along with his father Dharmendra and brother Bobby, finds promotional activities stressful.
"It has become more stressful of late. It's a waste of money, waste of time, waste of everything! You can use that much of money making another film, how much you spend on the public relations these days," Sunny said in an interaction.
He rues how promoting a film on a large scale is in "fashion".
"If you don't do it, they (people) don't know about your film. We are now stuck with this and we have to carry on with it," he added.
"Yamla Pagla Deewana 2", directed by Sangeeth Sivan, releases June 7.

I don't let insecurities affect me: Ranbir
Ranbir Kapoor says insecurities are a part and parcel of an actor's life, but he doesn't let them affect him.
"It is not about success or failure. I think with age you become a little bit more secure. I was never an insecure person. Money has never been my priority. Insecurities are good, but I don't let them envelop me. I am happy with my space," Ranbir said.
"As long as I am getting to do good work and meet everyone and talk, I think I am happy," he added.
Ranbir is currently awaiting for "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" to hit screens May 31. He features in it with his former lady love Deepika Padukone.
