“It doesn't matter whose child you are - if you deliver a flop, filmmakers stop taking your calls,” says Abhishek Bachchan, the son of legend Amitabh Bachchan.
Abhishek's career graph since his debut with Refugee in 2000 has been bumpy. While the actor delivered hits and was praised for his performances in films like Guru, Dhoom, Bunty Aur Babli, Dostana and Bol Bachchan, he has also earned his share of criticism for some of his movie choices. The actor also gets trolled on social media, but he has never let the criticism get him down. After a two year hiatus, Abhishek came back with Anura Kashyap’s Manmarziyaan (2018), which was appreciated by critics.
