Noted actress and director of "Firaaq", Nandita Das Wednesday lashed out at her producers, Percept picture company, for not "properly marketing" the film.

"Firaaq was not released properly. There was no marketing. There were some rumours that the film was released before elections and no one was sure who would come to power in Gurajat or at the centre. So I don't know, but the film really suffered because of this," Nandita told reporters at the 40th edition of the International Film Festival of India here.
