Abhishek Bachchan: I Have No Problem With Harsh Comments

It Doesn't Mean That 'Sabbatical' Works To Other Actors

Even when taking a break brings Abhishek positive results, he would not advise it to other artists. As he believes that each of us has a different level of being stagnant, solutions for each person will be varied. Of course, a sabbatical is not the only way to cope with the problem.

"It depends from person to person", explained Abhishek. It is a personal journey that each one has to experience themselves and find out their own remedy for the problem. He also emphasized the significance of being relatable and relevant instead of being available on screen or other projects.

Do Critics Hurt?

As a son of Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, it is promising for Abhishek to debut in the film industry and release hits. However, it also poses a huge challenge for him of getting out of his father's shadow. In facts, Abhishek's career seemed to be chequered with full of ups and downs.

Regarding critics and trolls on the internet, Abhishek knows how to give it back in a dignified yet witty manner. As an entertainer, it is a quest to entertain the audience as much as possible. And on that journey, you'd better play a different character and do not let the criticism let you down.

And What About Harsh Comments?

To Abhishek, when an audience spends money to watch a film then they have the right to judge or being harsh. "If they don't like my performance, I am okay with their harsh comments." It is impossible to satisfy all of them so Abhishek's way is to focus only on those who support him. He has no problem with those who are tough and direct.

Why Manmarziyaan?

After considering carefully, Abhishek decided to give his comeback by being a part of Manmarziyaan - Anurag Kashyap's new age romance. The main reason for that must be Kashyap, known for his dark stories, left his comfort zone to direct a love triangle.

This offer came to Abhishek accidentally when he received a phone call from Aanand L Rai. Right after knowing that Anurag would be the director, he nods head without any hesitation. He was so excited as with the narration of the film and the perfect mixture of creative people, Anurag and Aanand.

Manmarziyaan Is A Message to Women And Young Generation

Featuring in Anurag's creation was a different experience that Abhishek has never had in the past. According to the actor, it is promising to be a special treatment which completely relates to today's generation, especially for women.

Manmarziyaan is a refreshing story about love triangle and relationships. The style and content are contemporary. It's also challenging for actors like Abhishek to express the complex emotions. "For whoever you are, you will find a certain message hiding in the story. It is changed India out there and they will get what we are trying to say."

Also featuring Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal, Manmarziyan releases this Friday.
