Abhishek not afraid of the cricket ‘game’

AbhishekCinemimi[Thursday, March 10, 2011]
With many bollywood makers shifting their release and avoiding any clash with the Tendulkar Sehwag mania which is gripping the country day by day. Our dear Abhishek Bachchan is not at all worried.

The talented actor believes that nothing can stop a quality product to get it dues, he says, “I really believe that it's something we've just made up for ourselves. If you make a quality product, no matter what period of the year it is. People will watch it and we have hundreds of examples to prove that."

Abhishek has two of his much awaited releasing in April.

April 1 will see murder mystery 'Game' hitting the marquee and then April 22 is the turn of thriller 'Dum Maaro Dum'.

Says Abhi, “I think its completely to do with the fact that whether we can excite the audience enough. We are blessed that our audiences are so passionate about films. Its almost a part of their daily life where it is very hard to resist going and watching a film."

Not at all worried with the cricket mania, Abhishek believes that there is an audience for movies, he says, “We have more than a billion people in this country. Not everyone is going to watch cricket. Even if half of them watch cricket the other half will watch the movie."

Needless to add, the actor is thrilled about his forthcoming ‘Game’ and says, “ 'Game is a film that i'm very excited about because it's my first film with two very dear friends of mine (Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidwani). We've been waiting very long for the right script to come, I've really enjoyed making this film. It's a genre that I really enjoy. It's a whodunit murder mystery and I always wanted to do such a film and we have shot at some really nice places."

Well we all hope that Abhishek’s ‘Game’ on screen does wonders for him as well and going by the promos, we can say that it appears to be an edge of the seat thriller.

All the best, Abhi!

Decoding the reasons why Abhishek continues to be popular

AbhishekCinemimi[Sunday, January 29, 2011]
Abhishek Bachchan has at least half a dozen films (Game, Dum Maro Dum, Bol Bachchan, Players, Department etc.), lined up for release in next two years with his date diary being totally booked. Now for an actor who hasn't enjoyed the best year of his career in 2010 (with 'Raavan' and 'Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se'), one would have expected something on the contrary.

"In a way this also reflects the shortage of known names, let alone saleable ones, that we have in Bollywood today", rues a trade expert, "How many films can you expect the four Khans (Aamir, Salman, Shah Rukh, Saif), Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn or Hrithik Roshan to do? We have only these seven names if you have to think of an actor with a mature personality. Ranbir Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor and Imran Khan are more suited for younger roles."

"This is the reason why one continues to remember Abhishek's solo hits like 'Guru' and 'Bunty Aur Babli'", a senior film maker comments on condition of anonymity, "Ok, so these films may seem to have arrived centuries ago but the fact remains that Abhishek has proved himself at the least. The Bachchan tag also means that he would ensure good product visibility at the least. In that sense, the makers would save some time, money and energy in hard selling their film which would otherwise not be the case if they take someone else who is either lower down the order or a relatively new face."

Well, this is indeed a point to ponder over. What do you think?
