Abhishek Bachchan, who has spent over two decades in the entertainment industry, has explained why he took a break after the release of his 2016 film Housefull 3. He said he backed out from films he had signed at the moment to re-evaluate things
In an interview with ETimes, Abhishek said, “I was very complacent. I was getting great work, great money, all the films were becoming superhits. But I knew I wasn't pushing myself.”
He further added, “You should never think that I can sleep-walk through a film! No, you're not meant to sleep-walk through a film because people are putting hard earned money on you! You have to have sleepless nights. Somewhere that's the price you pay as an actor for your gift. When it stops meaning that and it comes easily to you, you've started your downward trajectory and that's the space I was in. So, I said, let me stop. Whichever films I had signed that time, which hadn't started, I returned the signing amounts to them. I told them I need to re-evaluate things, I took that time off, I came back and started selecting work which gave me sleepless nights."
Abhishek was last seen in Dasvi, the 2022 film also starring Nimrat Kaur. He was also seen in the second season of his web series Breathe: Into The Shadows last year. Both released on OTT platforms. This year, he was seen in a cameo in Ajay Devgn-starrer Bhola.
Abhishek has completed the shooting of R Balki's Ghoomer. He has also produced a film SSS7 in which he is the only actor. He has also shot a film with Remo D'Souza and will now begin working on Shoojit Sircar's next.
