Tashan a major flop overseas

Tashan, starring four A-listers and produced by the Numero Uno production house [Yash Raj], has been rejected in major international markets. Akshay [after a string of hits], Saif [after Race], Kareena [after Jab We Met] and Anil Kapoor [after Welcome, Race]... it couldn't get bigger than this. But the film has failed to live up to the hype and expectations.
