Anurag Kashyap Says Abhishek Bachchan Was Very Brattish During The Initial Years

Anurag Kashyap, who has worked with Abhishek Bachchan as a dialogue writer in 'Yuva' (2004), and a director in Manmarziyaan' (2018), said that the son of senior actor Amitabh Bachchan 'was very brattish' during his initial years in the film industry.

Anurag  Kashyap said that the actor did not 'take things seriously' during the first time they worked. However, the Abhishek that he worked with in Manmarziyaan was 'entirely different'. 

"We (Abhishek and Anurag) worked together on Yuva. I wrote the dialogues for that filAmitabhm. My brother was also an AD on it, and we worked quite a bit with Abhishek on the dubbing of that film as well... He’s a very hard-working person. He’s cultured, loves food. But he was very brattish in the beginning. He’d make fun of everything, not take things seriously. But people grow, and he grew. That Abhishek and the Abhishek I worked with on Manmarziyaan are two entirely different people," Anurag Kashyap said in Hindi in an interview to The Lallantop.

While Mani Ratnam's Yuva featured Ajay Devgn, Vivek Oberoi, Rani Mukerji, Kareena Kapoor and Esha Deol alongside Abhishek, Manmarziyaan saw Abhishek with Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal.

Anurag's latest film Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat was released on February 3. The musical romantic drama, written and directed by Anurag, features Alaya F alongside debutant Karan Mehta.
