Pehle SRK and PC, aur ab Abhishek Bachchan and Neil Nitin Mukesh, sure looks like a star shower for Lucknow these days. On Monday, the duo of Abhishek and Neil stopped by the city to promote their upcoming flick "Players", and not surprisingly, hundreds gathered at a mall in Gomtinagar to catch a glimpse of the cinestars.
Girls screamed Abhishek's name out loud on seeing him. But Neil, with an overgrown beard, became a tad tough for the people to recognise. But when they did, everyone gathered there made up by greeting him loudly.
Considering the fierce manner in which the Bachchans have been guarding Beti B, Abhishek was virtually swamped with queries about her. When asked if the family has decided on a name for her, a smiling Abhishek replied, "We've yet to decide. We would ideally like to name her with the alphabet 'A', but let's see."
BOLLYWOOD KA KING KAUN?
With SRK's "Don 2" having just been released, Big B as the original Don was high on people's minds. But Abhishek expertly fielded queries on SRK's venture, when asked, by saying, "Bollywood mein to ek hi Don hai. And that's my father Amitabh Bachchan. But honestly, I haven't seen the film as I have been busy. But I will catch it soon."
Neil, however, was all praises for the film. "It's a slick movie with brilliant performances," he said.
FAMILY TIME: It was a family reunion for Neil, who was with his sister Neha and her family in Kanpur for Christmas, before reaching Lucknow. Giving them company was father Nitin Mukesh. In Lucknow, Neil appeared relaxed and still in the holiday mood. Clearly, the short holiday was a welcome break from the promotional rounds. In fact the family, with brother-in-law Alakshendra Swaroop, Alakshendra's sister Akanksha and Neil's nephews Aryendra and Shauryendra, accompanied him to Lucknow for a day of gorging on lakhnawi food. "Yahan Lucknow aa ke mein toh bas yahan ki sari mashhoor cheezen khana chahta tha," declared Neil. And he did just that with costar and friend Abhishek Bachchan, when the two feasted on kebabs from Tunday, paranthas, biryani, makkhan malai and laddoos.
