Abhishek Bachchan maximises public appearances to promote 'Delhi 6'

Ghaziabad/ Noida (UP), Feb 23 (ANI): Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan promoted his latest movie 'Delhi 6', by making maximum public appearances in at least six cities in a span of 12 hours.

Hundreds of loud cheering and whistling fans surrounded Abhishek as he entered an up market mall located in Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh.

Abhishek spoke at length about this promotion idea which he had in mind since last one year.

"I thought it would be a wonderful way to promote the film because usually when we promote our films, we tend to center on the metros of our country. I thought it would be nice way to promote the film which doesn't come under the category in the sense like Mumbai, New Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai," he said.

Directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, who shot to fame with his phenomenal 'Rang De Basanti', this movie captures life in the narrow by-lanes of New Delhi.

The film, starring Abhishek and Sonam Kapoor, is Mehra's third directorial venture after 'Aks' and 'Rang De Basanti'.

The title of the film is inspired by the postal code of an area in Delhi where the story is based.

This area houses the famous market place Chandni Chowk, Jama Masjid and Red Fort.

The story revolves around Roshan who comes back from New York to India with his ailing grandmother. He doesn't know that this quick trip will turn into the longest journey of his life. (ANI)
