Ranbir-Priyanka to give Big B�۪s birthday bash a miss

Kapoor and Chopra in 'Barfi!'
Kapoor and Chopra in 'Barfi!'

Living legend Amitabh Bachchan celebrates his 70th birthday tonight and the who�۪s who of Indian cinema are touted to be attending the event. Unfortunately, the stars ��du-jour�۪ Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra will be unable to make it as they are away in Korea for the screening of ��Barfi!’ at the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF).

The screening of the film at the festival is a rare honour for both makers UTV and Kapoor and Chopra as BIFF is one of the most significant film festivals in Asia. The screening date had been announced some time back so both Chopra and Kapoor had no choice but to skip Bachchan�۪s big bash.

��Barfi!�۪ has surprisingly proven to be a landmark film for both stars as it has won praise unanimously across the board and made a significant amount of money at the box office – even crossing the coveted 100 crore mark.

Directed by Anurag Basu, the film sees Kapoor as a deaf-mute ��Chaplinesque�۪ character called Murphy while Chopra plays an autistic character, Jhilmil. It also stars newcomer Ileana D�۪Cruz as the film�۪s narrator and the third angle of an unusual love triangle.
