My Dad is the only Don-Abhisheikh

Pehle SRK and PC, aur ab Abhishek Bachchan and Neil Nitin Mukesh, sure looks like a star shower for Lucknow these days. On Monday, the duo of Abhishek and Neil stopped by the city to promote their upcoming flick "Players", and not surprisingly, hundreds gathered at a mall in Gomtinagar to catch a glimpse of the cinestars.

Girls screamed Abhishek's name out loud on seeing him. But Neil, with an overgrown beard, became a tad tough for the people to recognise. But when they did, everyone gathered there made up by greeting him loudly.

Considering the fierce manner in which the Bachchans have been guarding Beti B, Abhishek was virtually swamped with queries about her. When asked if the family has decided on a name for her, a smiling Abhishek replied, "We've yet to decide. We would ideally like to name her with the alphabet 'A', but let's see."


BOLLYWOOD KA KING KAUN?
With SRK's "Don 2" having just been released, Big B as the original Don was high on people's minds. But Abhishek expertly fielded queries on SRK's venture, when asked, by saying, "Bollywood mein to ek hi Don hai. And that's my father Amitabh Bachchan. But honestly, I haven't seen the film as I have been busy. But I will catch it soon."

Neil, however, was all praises for the film. "It's a slick movie with brilliant performances," he said.


FAMILY TIME: It was a family reunion for Neil, who was with his sister Neha and her family in Kanpur for Christmas, before reaching Lucknow. Giving them company was father Nitin Mukesh. In Lucknow, Neil appeared relaxed and still in the holiday mood. Clearly, the short holiday was a welcome break from the promotional rounds. In fact the family, with brother-in-law Alakshendra Swaroop, Alakshendra's sister Akanksha and Neil's nephews Aryendra and Shauryendra, accompanied him to Lucknow for a day of gorging on lakhnawi food. "Yahan Lucknow aa ke mein toh bas yahan ki sari mashhoor cheezen khana chahta tha," declared Neil. And he did just that with costar and friend Abhishek Bachchan, when the two feasted on kebabs from Tunday, paranthas, biryani, makkhan malai and laddoos.

Absolutely. Amitabh Bachchan was amazing in Don. If SRK had done even half as good, he would have been successful..

For me SRK will always be DON. I saw him in DON first so i cant relate it to anyone else. I was just talking to my sis about how you never know maybe in 10 years there will be another remake of DON for the younger generation to be able to relate more with the character.

I look at the film Don and Don 2 with Shahrukh as a tribute to the original Don with Amit ji. The Dons with Shahrukh in them would NEVER have been highly acclaimed and made without the original Don with Amit ji. So rather than a remake I look at it as a tribute to the original Don, Amit ji. Even Shahrukh once said in an interview of Don 1 that this shouldn't be taken as "copying the original Don" but rather as a tribute to Mr. Amitabh Bachan sir and the original Don movie.

As far as Abhishek praising his father, wouldn't any son put his father above any other person? Come on its common sense!

Sure Amitabh Bacchan is an amazing actor but i find SRK's Don much better

And i agree with Cutiepie Rani that SRK did say that its a tribute to the original Don and not a copy...and totally see that who wouldnt put their father above everyone else
