Big B got a phenomenal welcome by the media and fans
present at the grand New York Premiere of 'The Great Gatsby' at Lincoln
Centre. The crowd thronged the streets to
catch a glimpse of the megastar. Bachchan has expressed his feelings through his blog. Here are exceprts.
“Your name... screamed out through pent up excited devotees, rents
the air.. several others join in … beyond the barriers attention drawing
well wishers, plead for a shake of a hand an auto graph … pictures of
posters wave in the air … the shouting continues … a few faces somewhat
astonished by all this turn around .. a few cameras turn too … and THAT
is the moment (sic),” Big B exclaims.
He goes on to add, "As you acknowledge the fans, walk up to them to
sign their autographs, shake their hands, wave to the nearest and the
farthest perched atop the balconies of adjoining buildings … those that
had turned away, turn back .. a smile of astonished contentment
overtakes their faces .. they look at you with fresh interest … those Tv
anchors that awaited the real stratospheric stars, now begin to thrust
their ‘utensils’ in your direction ..(sic).
"The scream that went up as you entered … we thought Leonardo had
arrived … how does it feel to have so many fans of yours here at this
venue…Their refrain does not stop .. their questions are filled with
just wonder and awe .. an almost in denial attitude … ” no ooo … this is
not happening surely (sic), he concludes.
Also, present at the occasion were the rest of the star cast Doug
and Lucy Fisher( Producers from Warner Bros ), Catherine Martin, Toby
Maguire, Amitabh Bachchan, Leonardo DiCaprio, Baz Luhrmann, Joel
Edgerton, Carey Mulligan, Isla Fisher.
