New Delhi, Feb 22, 2009: Amitabh very happy on Abhishek making Guinness World record. Amitabh Bachcan says he is very happy on Abhishek Bachchan making maximum appearances in 12 hours. Abhishek Bachchan whose film Delhi-6 has just been released was on a promotional tour for the film and established a world record.

Now the proud dad of Abhishek says that he is very happy over the feat. Abhishek has said that he wanted to break the world record for a long time and now succeeded.

Amitabh Bachchan while writing on his blog says that, “(I was).. watching Abhishek setting out to break the Guinness World record of making the maximum number of public appearances in 12 hours in different cities. And as I write I am happy to inform all that he actually has.?

He goes on to says that, “He had to do 5, I think, cities and he just finished Chandigargh after Ghaziabad, Gurgaon, Noida, Faridabad, Delhi and is on a plane now to Mumbai to PVR JUHU and that will end his record journey. He will in fact have bettered the previous record. All the public functions have to have certain given formats to be complied with - a red carpet, sign autographs, interact with the fans, and do TV interactions. And he has done that at all these places by attending the screening of D6, an exercise incorporated by the Producers in the promotional activities designated and designed.”

In the meantime Amitabh Bachchan is furious at the critics of Delhi-6, the just released film of his son Abhishek Bachchan with Sonam Kapoor. The film has received mixed reviews from both viewers as well as critics.

Amitabh Bachchan has said that he is amazed as to why people are judging two films Slumdog Millionaire and Delhi-6 by different yardstick.  Bachchan said 'Delhi-6' portrays the philosophy that the system needs strength, honesty and needs to look within. "The system...needs strength..needs an honesty... needs to look within... a philosophy, ironically, portrayed so beautifully in 'Delhi-6' and an aspect, so mercilessly criticised in the reviews and opinions," he wrote on his blog.

The mega stat says, "Are we being reluctant and fearful then, of looking into the mirror?” The actor said the same "learned critics" had derided those who had expressed negative opinion on 'Slumdog Millionaire', vociferously defending the contents of the film, by arguing, that those who opposed it, did so, because they were reluctant to accept someone who was showing them a mirror.
