Fifty thousand! That’s the number of fans Abhishek Bachchan engaged with in an online chat. Creating history of sorts when he launched into the chat, Abhi has far surpassed the 27,000 fans Hrithik Roshan attracted in an online chat to promote Kites. In fact, the number of fans wanting to chat with Abhi built up so much that the server crashed, and had to be reset after a while.
Abhishek’s fan following has been growing steadily and with Raavan generating so much buzz, it’s not surprising that so many people logged on to chat with him. Whether the bouquets will keep coming in will only be seen after the release of Raavan. But given the track record of the hit jodi of Mani Ratnam and Abhi, as evinced in Guru and Yuva, we can safely expect good things.
