Abhishek Bachchan

Abhishek Bachchan is an Indian actor and the son of Indian actors Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. He is married to actress and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai.

Bachchan debuted with J.P. Dutta's Refugee (2000). In 2004, the actor delivered a hit and a critically acclaimed performance, in the films Dhoom and Yuva. His performance in the latter was praised, for which he received several awards, including his first Filmfare Award in the Best Supporting Actor category, an award he would win for the two next years as well. Since then, Bachchan has starred in films that have been commercially and critically successful, establishing himself as one of the leading actors in the industry.

Abhishek & Aishwarya hide in the jungles of Kerala

Bollywood’s celebrity couple Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan hardly get to spend some romantic time alone given their busy schedules but then this was the last thing they wanted as having to spend time alone in this manner.

It all happened on Wednesday in the jungles of Athirapilly in Kerala where they were shooting for Mani Ratnam’s ‘Raavan’. Abhi-Ash along with Mani Ratnam had gone to check out an elephant which was supposed to participate in the shooting from next week.

The elephant went out of control killing the mahout and taking off on a stampede. As a result, Abhishek, Aishwarya and Mani had to spend their time hiding in the jungles until people who could control the elephant and rescue the couple could reach.

They had to spend around ten hours without food or water until they were rescued late at night. But until then there was no news of their safety and wellbeing and not to mention here that Bachchan family and Aishwarya’s parents were very worried.

Given the amount of pains the unit has taken to shoot ‘Raavan’ right from director’s health scare to an elephant out on stampede to severe viral infections and malaria, this film, when released, will definitely make up for the efforts put in.

No Hrithik or Abhishek yet for ‘Agneepath’ remake: Karan Johar

Mumbai, There have been speculations about who will play the male lead in the remake of the 1990 hit “Agneepath”. While the names of Hrithik Roshan and Abhishek Bachchan popped up, filmmaker Karan Johar clarifies that no one has been finalised to play the part Amitabh Bachchan immortalised in the original.

“I haven’t made any statement whatsoever around the man who would eventually be playing the role of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan that was made
iconic by Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. All I have said is that, yes, we are going ahead with a remake of ‘Agneepath’ and that’s about it,” Johar told IANS.

Whether it is Hrithik, Abhishek or someone else, Johar must be having a wish list?

“Well, the wish list is to get the screenplay right. For the moment nothing else is more important than that,” he said.

Even though the film is being produced under the banner of Dharma Productions, Johar won’t be going behind the camera for the movie.

“True, I would be stepping aside and the film would be directed by Karan Malhotra, who has assisted me on ‘My Name Is Khan’. That’s the only thing which has been finalised… everything else you hear is mere speculation. We will finalise the cast once the script is locked. Currently, it is still in the process of being written,” he added.

Malhotra is not really a novice when it comes to filmmaking. He has earlier worked as an assistant director with Ashutosh Gowariker on “Jodhaa Akbar”, Farah Khan on “Main Hoon Na”, Farhan Akhtar on “Lakshya” and Raj Kumar Santoshi “Lajja and Pukar” amongst others.

Since it is close to two decades since the release of “Agneepath”, would the remake have a different milieu to it?

“Certainly! We are adapting the film from the original, but ours would be a new age version that would fit in well with today’s time. We really hope that we are able to do justice to the original and make the remake exciting for today’s generation,” Johar said.

Dharma Productions, meanwhile, has as many as seven films that are in different stages of production. These are “My Name Is Khan”, “Wake Up Sid”, “Kurbaan”, “Koochie Koochie Hota Hai”, remakes of Hollywood flick “Stepmom” and “Agneepath” and “I Hate Love Stories”.

How is he managing it all?

“Believe me, it’s not difficult at all. All you have to do is to follow a three-point mantra – delegation, outsourcing and trust. Along with that, if you have the right vision and infrastructure in place, which we do have in Dharma Productions, it isn’t difficult to crack it all.

“That’s the way you manage things and I have been fortunate enough to have a team with which it has become possible to helm a number of projects at the same time,” said Johar.

Among the seven films, three are ready to hit the screens.

“‘Wake Up Sid’ is all set to arrive on Oct 2. ‘Kurbaan’ will come in late November. Other than that, we are looking at an early 2010 release for ‘My Name Is Khan’. Yes, these have been busy and really exciting times,” the filmmaker said.

Abhishek Bachchan biography

Its easy to follow your father’s footsteps when he is the superstar of the millennium but very difficult to live upto that image if your work is compared to or expected to be as good as your father’s. That is how the filmography of Abhishek Bachchan began in 1999.
The only son of the veteran actor and the Big ‘B’ of bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan and actress,� Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek, was born on 5th Febuary 1976. He has one elder sister, Shweta Nanda. His high schooling was done in Switzerland and since then, Abhishek had a dream of becoming an actor.
Refugee, directed by J.P. Dutta, was Abhishek’s first film. He starred opposite new comer Kareena Kapoor. But this film was soon forgotten. Then came LOC, Tera Jadoo Chal Gaya, Dhai Akshar Prem Ke, Shararat and Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost (opposite Lara Dutta). But all of them failed to give Abhishek the kind of recognition his father had. Then came a set of films that soon put Abhishek in the list of top ten actors. These were Dhoom, Bunty Aur Babli, Sarkar, Bluffmaster and Dus. His roles in each of the film were different yet interesting. From the conman in Dhoom and Dus to the funny bluffer in Bunty aur Babli and Bluffmaster, Abhishek was accepted by both critics and audiences. He soon gained popularity and from now on people found lots of similarities between him and his superstar dad Amitabh.
On the personal front also, Abhishek was been in the news. He was engaged to Karisma Kapoor in 2002 but after few months they had broke up. Finally this year, he tied the knot to former Miss World and a super star, Aishwarya Rai, with whom he has done films like Dhoom 2 and Umrao Jaan.
Abhishek has quite a few films lined up as of now. His forthcoming film is a Yashraj film venture directed by Sanjay Gandhavi. Sarkar 2 and Krishh 2 are also in the following. He has a home production film with Apoorva Lakhia as well.
People who know him say that Abhishek is a prankster, humerous yet affectionate. He is a perfect blend of his parents whether it’s acting or real life.

Now, the new commercial has already been completed and is on air on the
smaller screen. Must admit Aishwarya and Abhishek look amazing together. The ad shoot has been directed by Stephen Mead and the music for the commercial has been composed by Shankar Ehsaan Loy. The couple was styled by Aki Narula.

Dad is a naughty child: Abhishek Bachchan

Ask Abhishek Bachchan if he was happy to carry his dad Amitabh Bachchan around on his shoulders while shooting for R. Baalki's Paa, and the guy gets emotional.

"It was really nice carrying him," says Abhishek, adding that it got him really nostalgic. "As I child, I remember looking down at everyone as I would sit on my father's shoulder," he adds.

Abhishek gets emotional talking about his bond with his father and says this was one way he could relive memories. Only this time, he was the father. "And he (Amitabh) is a very naughty child!" he adds.

Interestingly, Abhishek adds that he is trying to figure a way to keep the equation between him and his father the same in real life as well!

When Abhishek plays Paa to Big B

Abhishekh Bachchan, who plays a father to Amitabh Bachchan in R Balakrishnan's Paa, says he tried imitating Big B's mannerisms.

"I have given my best for the film to play father to my real-life dad. I definitely tried imitating his mannerisms," Abhishek said at a promotional event of the film which also stars Vidya Balan.

Abhishek and Vidya play parents to the Big B, suffering from progeria, an extremely rare, severe, genetic condition wherein symptoms resembling aspects of aging are manifested at an early age.

Approximately one in four million people are diagnosed with this condition.

Paa, a sensitive story about the relationship between a politician-father and ageing and ailing son would be released on December 4.

The movie's first look was unveiled here today showing Amitabh as an ageing and balding son, Auro, playing in a garden with his mother.

Explaining the labour Amitabh had to undergo for the Paa-look, Abhishek said dad required at least five to six hours daily to put up the make-up.

"While father required five to six hours daily to put up the make-up, he required another good two hours to remove it," he said.

"While father required five to six hours daily to put up the make-up, he required another good two hours to remove it," he said.

"The look, given by a make up artist from abroad is excellent," the 33-year-old star said.

Abhishek plays a politician who follows footsteps of his father played by Paresh Rawal.

While Balakrishnan said watching the chemistry between the father-son duo was very interesting, Vidya said it was a dream come true for her to work with Big B.

Abhishek Bachchan is an Indian actor and the son of Indian actors Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. He is married to actress and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai.

Bachchan debuted with J.P. Dutta's Refugee (2000). In 2004, the actor delivered a hit and a critically acclaimed performance, in the films Dhoom and Yuva. His performance in the latter was praised, for which he received several awards, including his first Filmfare Award in the Best Supporting Actor category, an award he would win for the two next years as well.

Abhishek-Aishwarya kiss first time on TV

Bollywood most sought couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai sizzles at the ‘Oprah Winfrey Show’. Dressed in traditional attire with bindi and bangles, Ash was looking extremely beautiful and Abhi was at his best. Both looked like made for each other couple. The duo impressed Oprah with their frank chit-chat.

The two had a lot of fun on the show and Aishwarya was so much smitten by Abhishek’s friendly chat with Oprah that she instantly asked him to kiss her.The couple spoke in length about Indian traditions and values. They even had an interesting discussion about Indian way of expressing love and Western ways of expressing love.

Adding fun to the show, Abhi recalled the days when he proposed Ash in a hotel balcony. This was Ash’s second appearance on the show. First time she graced Oprah when she was single.

Abhi-Ash lose AR Rahman

Months after Dhoon was announced, we heard that AR Rahman would not be composing the music for it any more. Dhoon is cinematographer Rajiv Menon’s Hindi directorial debut vehicle.

Toplining Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, the film, produced by Eros Entertainment, is a musical based on a couple whose professional lives affect their personal relationship.. and how they eventually sort out their differences.

According to an industry source, the work on the music was scheduled to start by now. Rahman had agreed to score the music for Menon’s film before Slumdog Millionnaire and his Oscar Awards.

“But after the Oscar nominations, Rahman had to commit to a couple of projects, which were priority over his films. But he hasn’t yet started composing for them,” our source informed.

The same source added, “After that, Mani Ratnam developed a heart problem and had to be hospitalised for a few days. Consequently, Ratnam’s Raavan with Abhishek and Aishwarya was delayed and Rahman had to reschedule a couple of his other assignments.”

In the interim, Menon was working on the final draft of his film and was scheduled to commence work on the music a little later. Now with Rahman’s dates being rescheduled, Menon is worried that the project will get delayed indefinitely.

So, he is considering other composers who will step into the Oscar winner’s shoes.

“Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Vishal-Shekhar are some of the names under consideration although Menon still hasn’t had a formal discussion with them,” our source added.

Menon refused to comment on his change of plans. All he said was, “It’s too early to say anything definite. Perhaps, in a month or so, I will be able to divulge some details.”

Amitabh refused to work with Abhishek!

The Amitabh-Abhishek combination has always worked very well on screen (Sarkar, Sarkar Raj, KANK), then why did Sr. Bachchan refuse to work with Jr. Bachchan in Sujoy Ghosh’s ‘Aladin’? Apparently it was Amitabh who requested Sujoy not to cast his son Abhishek along with him in the film!

Filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh (of ‘Jhankaar Beats’ fame) revealed, “One afternoon when I was narrating the first draft of ‘Aladin’ to Mr. Bachchan, the initial script caught his attention but he was also quick to state; “Sounds interesting... but let’s not consider Abhishek for Aladin’s role. We are already doing a few films together... so let’s take a fresh face this time”. That’s how we thought of casting Riteish. Riteish is a very close friend of Abhishek and thus bonded very well with Amitabh.

We hope the new 'Aladin – Genie' combination will create magic at the box-office too.

Abhi-Aish going for Honeymoon Just To Conceive Baby

Bollywood’s most glamourous married couple would not be in India for their second marriage anniversary on 20 April. Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are off for a week long honeymoon to an undisclosed destination to bring in their vacation.

According to a source, “Last year Abhishek was slogging it out in Miami for Dostana and Aishwarya joined him there for their wedding anniversary. This year they were again supposed to be working, though happily together, for the next schedule of Mani Ratnam’s Raavan on their anniversary”.

But with Mani Ratnam asked by doctors to rest out for a while, the schedule has been slightly pushed ahead, giving the pair a chance to go for a much needed holiday.

The source says, “In fact Mani had suggested he would start the schedule later to give Abhishek and Aishwarya a chance to take time off for their anniversary. But the couple had refused. Its only now when the schedule is pushed ahead that they have decided to take that anniversary holiday”.

Abhishek Bachchan Changing Looks

He has just got rid of his heavily mustachioed look for Mani Ratnam’s Raavan.

This week Abhishek Bachchan had just one day’s shooting for Balki’s much-discussed film Paa. For that he not only had to rush to Kuala Lampur but also had to completely change his look to a clean-shaven one in contrast to the droopy-mouche look that he sports for Mani Ratnam’s Raavan.

Says Abhishek, “The new clean-shaven look was needed. It was just one day’s shoot for Paa. Now for next week I have to go back to the earlier look for Mani’s look.”

Apparently the Raavan look is a hot favourite among Abhishek’s fans. He has had numerous requests to keep that look permanently. However he needs to sport another look for Abhinay Deo’s untitled film.
