Abhishek Bachchan has worked with his father Amitabh Bachchan in several films and understands the importance of correct film selection.
Abhishek Bachchan calls it a ‘delight’ to collaborate with his father, megastar Amitabh Bachchan. But they always look for the right script that can help them deliver a “memorable” experience. For the unversed, the father-son duo have worked together in “Bunty Aur Babli”, Ram Gopal Varma-directed “Sarkar” and “Sarkar Raj”, Karan Johar’s “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna” and R Balki’s “Paa”.
“As actors, we both enjoy working with each other. But as actors, we also understand the responsibility towards our audience. Since we have done such wonderful, memorable work together, we want to carry on doing that. So, we wait for the right script and as soon as that happens, we are happy to work together,” the actor, in an interview on the sidelines of IIFA Weekend and Awards, told PTI.
The two will feature together yet again in Balki’s upcoming feature “Ghoomer”, which is inspired by the story of Karoly Takacs, the late Hungarian right-hand shooter who won two Olympic gold medals with his left hand.
“Balki doesn’t make movies without my dad, he is his lucky charm. So, even if it is for one shot (he will take him). It is a recurring theme, and it is the same in this movie,” Abhishek added.
The actor, who will be hosting the 23rd edition of IIFA awards on Sunday at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, further mentioned how he likes being dignified and respectful while on stage. “There is a huge responsibility when you are hosting, we have to ensure that we celebrate our cinema in the most correct, dignified and respectful way possible. I am not somebody who likes to take digs at other people. I find that incorrect, so you won’t see too much of that. Do stuff that is entertaining, keep it light and keep the audience engaged,” he said.
On the film front, Abhishek also has Nikkhil Advani-backed Hindi remake of 2019 Tamil comedy drama “KD” and Shoojit Sircar’s untitled slice-of-life drama, in the pipeline.
