Actor Abhishek Bachchan has not been able to promote his forthcoming movie Bluffmaster because of his father’s illness.
The movie’s stars, Priyanka Chopra , Ritesh Deshmukh and director Rohan Sippy have been promoting ‘Bluffmaster’ in different cities. But conspicuous by his absence has been the movie’s main star Abhishek Bachchan who has not been able to take out time due to the illness of Amitabh Bachchan .
Rohan, who is a good friend of Abhi and is very close to the Bachchans, understands Abhi’s situation and has gone ahead promoting the film with the other stars. He has also cancelled the movie’s premiere on December 15, because he doesn’t deem it befitting to have a lavish premiere in the face of the Big B’s illness.
However, the movie’s other main stars – Priyanka and Ritesh – have been promoting the film at press conferences across major Indian cities.
In one such conference in Mumbai, Sippy talked about his movie and said: “It's a very different film. It is not just about those twist and turns, emotional duets and the dramatic moments. We have got five great actors in it and each one of them has played his part really well.”
Ritesh Deshmukh, who plays Abhishek’s sidekick in the film, said ‘Bluffmaster’ couldn’t be put in any category.
“It is very difficult to name it in a particular category. It has romance, but it is not a romantic film…There is humour in the film, but it's not a comedy film,” said Deshmukh.
