Tuk-tuk to promote movie

There's a colourful Indian tuk-tuk on its way to a town near you.

To promote the premiere of the movie 'The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' the tuk-tuk leaves Christchurch today for Auckland.

20th Century Fox publicist Sue May says it'll make several stops along the way, and should reach Auckland on February 22nd.

"When he gets to a cinema he'll have surprises to give away, so there will be quite a buzz around each cinema as he goes forward."
