Abhishek Bachchan Latest News – Want to work with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

With Mani Ratnam’s Guru, the actor came into his own, getting even Bollywood’s Biggest Legend Amitabh Bachchan to endorse his talent. And though some films in between put him on a see-saw, R Balki’s Paa once again brought to light the fact that despite sharing screen space with his father, in what is an award-winning performance for the Big B, AB Junior can very well hold his own.



This year could be the culmination of all these years of ups and downs for the actor. He gets into the most eventful phase of his career. Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar’s Crooked, Karan Johar’s Dostana-2, Abbas Mustan’s The Italian Job (Hindi remake), Anurag Basu’s next, and, Rohan Sippy’s untitled venture are five of the films that go on the floor this year with Abhishek in the lead. And on June 18, Raavana — Mani Ratnam’s most ambitious venture so far, with AB Jr as the protagonist, will open to a global audience.



When asked how he had suddenly become so prolific, Abhishek who has a great sense of humor says, “I haven’t mastered the art of doing one film at a time.’’ The actor feels he is blessed (yes he couldn’t ask for a more rocking birthday gift) because suddenly his life and career are zooming. His television debut was better received than many other superstar small-screen acts; and what is more, even in Bollywood, he has found a definite spot for himself. “I’m truly fortunate that I can mix and match my genre of cinema,’’ says the actor. “If Crooked is a thriller, Raavan a socio-drama and Dostana-2 a comedy, then it only means that I can fit into cross-genre cinema with ease. I’m truly happy that I’ll be working round the clock for the next couple of years. And more importantly, I will be doing cinema that I believe in.’’



At 34, Abhishek is a decade younger than the ruling Khans, that also means he has the advantage of age on his side. Whether in his acting style or his positioning in the Bollywood hierarchy, the actor sees himself “competing only with himself’’ and the endeavor is to constantly strive to do better work. “Good box office is gratifying of course, but good work is equally gratifying,’’ he says.



And asked if there is anything in particular he may still want on this birthday, the actor says, “I’d like to do more work with my wife Aishwarya Bachchan. The advantage of working with Ash is that the two of us get to make a good film together (Guru, Sarkar Raj, Raavan) and on the personal front, I also get time to spend with my wife.’’ Well, with one of the world’s most beautiful women more than willing to comply with Abhishek Bachchan’s wishes, there is very little anyone else can offer him. He is truly blessed.

Bollywood Stars Bachchan Family Together

Bollywood Hot Sizzling Actor Abhishek Bachchan has revealed that his family may appear together on screen if they find the right script.

The son of Bollywood legends Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri said that a family film is likely following the success of their father-son outing in Paa.

He told Mumbai Mirror: "Most definitely, we are coming together. All four of us are completely for it. We need to sort out certain variables. The scripts that we had been given didn't justify our collective presence."

On working again with his father, he added: "Everyone wants to know what's next with the two of us? I think a comedy is ideal. So that's what we would do together."

Bachchan has already co-starred with his wife Aishwarya Rai in Guru and Bollywood forthcoming film Raavana.

Abhishek Amitabh Bachchan Bollywood Actors Upcoming Movie Paa News Gossips

Paa Abhishek Bachchan said that, “Dad was a good son”

On the occasion of Children’s Day, TOI managed a peek into the world of 13-year-old Auro, a very special child who will visit cinema theatres this December 4. Who would’ve thought that Abhishek Bachchan would actually play a father to Bollywood’s biggest legend Amitabh Bachchan someday?

The near impossible has happened. In Big Pictures’ Paa, the iconic Bollywood Superstar Amitabh Bachchan and son Bollywood Hot Actor Abhishek Bachchan come together to create a never-before-seen magic. Says R Balki, the director of this ambitious venture that is the current talking point with astute cineastes, “The idea came when I walked into Amitabh Bachchan’s office one day and found Abhishek there in a very mature mould. I was completely fascinated seeing a somber Abhishek and a playful Amitabh Bachchan who was lounging around. The scene I saw made it seem like Abhishek was the elder and Amitabh Bachchan was the son.’’

Fascinated with this role reversal, Balki who won several accolades for his Cheeni Kum with the Big B, decided that he should capture this father-son equation on screen. He decided to cast Abhishek as an understated politician with a special child. “On the net I came across the disease Progeria,’’ says the film-maker. “I read extensively about it and learned that there are only 40-odd cases of children across the world who is afflicted with this disease. It matched the concept I had in mind. So in a way I found the concept first and then went looking for a disease to match it. Not the other way around.’’

This film will mark the return of AB Corp to Hindi cinema after a hiatus. When asked how he felt playing his father’s father on screen, AB Junior says, “Paa was a unique experience, in fact the unique nature of this role was the reason I chose to do the film. The film gave me the opportunity to see how real life role reversal works. When Balki first spoke to me about the film and the concept he had in mind, I told him immediately, ‘I am on!’ It is not every day that you get to play your father’s father. It was great working together and he was a good son!”

Balki adds, “The film’s USP is that it will be the only time when you get to see a son playing his dad’s dad and also the one time when you get to see a father playing his son’s son.’’

Balki is particularly pleased that being professional actors —both the Bachchans have pitched their performances right.

Guess Balki couldn’t have asked for anything better for his second outing at the movies.
