We’ve been seeing less and less of Junior Bachchan every year for some time now. His last movie Housefull 3, released earlier this year, did phenomenally at the box office and regardless of what the critics say, the fans love him and can’t wait for what he does next.
And it is for all those fans that we’ve discovered a juicy lil factoid about Abhishek! Guess what, Junior B is a current Guinness World Record holder for ‘Most Public Appearances Made By A Film Star In 12 Hours’.
Back in 2009, while promoting his memorable Delhi-6, Abhishek made appearances at 7 different venues in a matter of merely 12 hours.
Bachchan walked the red carpet, signed autographs, introduced the film and gave interviews in Ghaziabad, Noida, Faridabad, Delhi, Gurgaon, Chandigarh and Mumbai on 22 February, 2009. He travelled 1,800 kms by car and private jet to make it happen.
This record was previously held by Will Smith, who attended three media events within 2 hours while promoting his 2004 film I, Robot.
But come 2009, Bachchan was all like, “Move aside Hancock. I’ve got a record to frikkin’ shatter.”
You’re welcome, y’all. Here’s to Abhishek, officially awesome.
