MUMBAI: Abhishek Bachchan will be in New York for his birthday on 5 February. The actor will be flying to the Big Apple after he wraps up the shooting of Mani Ratnam’s Raavan. AB is currently in Orcha, near Jhansi.

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Delhi 6 will release on 20 February and to promote the film, the filmmaker will be taking his cast comprising Abhishek Bachchan and to America, to kick start the campaign. Talking from the sets of Raavan, the junior Bachchan said, "Once we wrap up the shooting of Raavan, we will start with the promotional campaign of Delhi 6."

The film won top honors at the Dubai Film Festival, which helped the film to be announced in the international arena.  

Abhishek’s birthday, which is a special day for the Bachchans, will have to be celebrated yet again, away from home. Last year, it was on the sets of Drona in Jaipur where the family flew in from different metros of the country to come together for his big day.  

However Abhishek has little regrets, "I will be away from home, but it’s for the promotion of my film."

Delhi 6 whose music has already been declared a hit, now has the cast and crew waiting impatiently for the verdict from the critics and fans.
