Abhishek Bachchan set to Guiness Book World Record

It?s a Guinness world record that not many actors would think of. But there you have it. Abhishek Bachchan has been thinking the unthinkable in the roles he plays and in the way he projects his passion for cinema.

On Friday Abhishek is all set to break a unique world record.

That of a film star attending the most public appearances in 12 hours.

Starting on Friday morning when Delhi 6 releases Abhishek will travel to as many events in as many cities as possible within 12 hours.

Speaking from Dubai on Wednesday where he was attending the film?s premiere Abhishek excitedly said, ?It?s an idea that has been with me for a while ever since I heard about some German actors who set a world record by attending five public in twelve hours. I want to beat their record.I?d do at least 6-7 apearances in 12 hours in six cities. It could go up to seven cities.?

Starting at around noon on Friday afternoon the cities that Abhishek would cover would be honouring the city that the film Delhi 6 celebrates.

?By the look of it, we could do Gurgaon, Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Chandigarh, Baroda and Mumbai and break this record on the 20th itself or on 21st?..starting time could be 10 am or 12 noon doing a 12 to 12.

We could do seven cities instead of the current record of 5 cities, ? says the Sabbas Joseph, director of Wizcraft International who would be manoeuvring the record-breaking endeavour for Abhishek.

The current record record-holder in the category of the greatest number of public appearances by a film star at different cities in 12 hours promoting the same film is five by J?rgen Vogel and Daniel Br?hl (Germany), They walked the red carpet, signed autographs and introduced the film Ein Freund von mir (Germany 2006) at cinemas in Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, D?sseldorf and Cologne, Germany, on 22 October 2006.

They were accompanied by the director of Ein Freund von mir Sebastian Schipper.

Would Abhishek be able to break that record? ?I hope so. And I think I will. Actually I?m quite excited by the idea, more so because I?m implementing it for a film that?s so close to my heart.?

Guinness book officials are expected be present to watch Abhishek make history.
