Ace filmmaker Rakeysh Mehra missed his Saturday night flight to New York for a very special screening of “Delhi 6“, when the flight left it carried producer Ronnie Screwvala, Sonam Kapoor and Rakeysh’s wife Bharti, but not Rakeysh and Abhishek Bachchan.
Instead Rakeysh Mehra together with his leading man Abhishek Bachchan headed for New York on Sunday morning for the Sunday night screening of “Delhi 6″ at the super prestigious Museum Of Modern Art.
Speaking in transit from Dubai, “We wanted to finish with this New York screening before having our first screening for cast crew and family. I am absolutely proud that they chose Delhi 6. Moma is not a theatre one can hire for a screening. Their curator saw our movie. He sent an email saying it would be a pleasure to screen our movie at Moma”. No other movie from any part of the world ever has been premiered at Moma.
The movie is a hit ( not a raving hit like Rang De Basanti but nevertheless a hit ). Considering that the lead actor narrates the story and has onyl 11 actual dialogue lines in the whole movie.I mean Abhishek Bachcan actually has only 11 lines of dialogue in the film.
Here are some photos of the New York premiere with Ab very much present.
