No birthday party at home for Jaya

Big B and AbhiAsh too busy to celebrate special day with the Bachchan momma!
Jaya Bachchan turns 61 on April 9 but there are no celebrations in store at Jalsa.
Her birthday will be an extremely low-key affair as all the Bachchans (Amitabh, Abhi-shek and Aishwarya) are busy shooting. As Jaya puts it, "I am not up to organising my own birthday party."
But the makers of her new film, tentatively titled Phir Tum Mil Gaye, have made elaborate plans for her big day.
They've decided to prepone the commencement of the film's shooting to coincide with Jaya's birthday.
The film's director Revathy Varma (not to be confused with Tamil actress-turned-director Revathy) says, "Yes, we've quickened the process of starting the film.
April 9 is an auspicious day. And my film is about honouring and giving a respectable place to the aged in our society. So what better proof of the film's intentions than to dedicate it to Jayaji's birthday?"
The preponement has been quick and sudden. Raveena Tandon, who plays a pivotal role, is totally taken aback. "I thought the shooting was supposed to start in May!
This is the first time I'm hearing about the April 9 shoot. But I'm happy. We're all fans of Jayaji. And the film is about making her character happy."
Adds Revathy, "We're doing a bit of shooting on April 9, followed by a detailed schedule."
The film, already made in Tamil entitled June R, was based on the director's own life. "I adopted a mother from a foster-home. She's no more.
But the love she gave me has given birth to Jayaji's character in the film," notes the director.
Ayesha Takia plays Jaya's daughter in the film.
