Abhishek Bachchan who hails from a illustrious filmy family has always faced comparision with his legendary father Amitabh Bachchan. The Refugee star in a recent interview with IANS opened up on the much talked about subject, nepotism. Abhishek said, “The fact is he has never picked up the phone on anyone. He has never made a film for me. On the contrary, I have produced a film for him, called Paa,” Abhishek said. Paa starred Amitabh as a child with rare genetic disease called progeria. Abhishek played his father while Vidya Balan played his mother.Abhishek was seen in the web series Breath 2 earlier this year, and is now gearing up for his next release, Ludo.
In the upcoming film directed by Anurag Basu, he plays a criminal. "Anurag is an instinctive director who does not want something that`s studied. As an actor that`s the scary thing to do -- to take that leap of faith," he said. Ludo is a dark comedy anthology also starring Aditya Roy Kapur, Rajkummar Rao, Sanya Malhotra, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Rohit Saraf, Pearle Maaney, Pankaj Tripathi, Asha Negi, Shalini Vats and Inayat Verma, and is scheduled to release on Netflix on November 12.
