Amitabh Bachchan is overflowing with pride and affection for his son, Abhishek Bachchan, following the positive response to Abhishek's latest film, "Kaalidhar Laapata". The veteran actor has taken to social media and his personal blog to express his admiration for Abhishek's performance in the film, which is currently streaming on ZEE5.
"With the mountains of praise coming for Abhishek and the film Kaalidhar Laapata, mountains of pride fill my heart and mind for my SON," Amitabh Bachchan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). He also shared a message he received from actor-director Tinnu Anand, who lauded Abhishek's performance. Anand's message read, "Sirjee, as I don't have Abhishek's number, could you please congratulate him from my side? He is absolutely brilliant in Kaalidhar Laapata. Warmth". Amitabh conveyed his gratitude for the message, emphasizing the weight of such praise coming from a respected figure like Tinnu Anand.
On his blog, Amitabh reflected on the importance of family and the challenges posed by technology. "When your children are about and by your side, the World can be conquered," he wrote. He also humorously lamented his dependence on technology after experiencing technical setbacks.
"Kaalidhar Laapata" tells the story of a man grappling with memory loss and betrayal. Abhishek Bachchan's portrayal of the character has been particularly praised for its emotional depth and vulnerability. The film explores themes of friendship and unexpected connections, with Abhishek's character finding solace in his bond with a young boy named Ballu.
Abhishek Bachchan himself has spoken about the personal significance of the role. "Playing Kaalidhar was not just a role, it was a revelation," he said. "He's fragile, childlike, and deeply human. His bond with Ballu reminded me how the most unexpected friendships can offer the most profound lessons". He added, "As actors, we often hope for stories that move us before they move anyone else, and Kaalidhar Laapata did exactly that".
Amitabh Bachchan has consistently expressed his support and admiration for Abhishek's career choices. He has often praised Abhishek for taking on challenging and diverse roles, acknowledging his dedication and commitment to his craft. Last month, he wrote a heartfelt note on his blog, commending Abhishek for his willingness to experiment and push his boundaries as an actor. He noted that Abhishek's film choices have allowed him to showcase his versatility and deliver memorable performances.
The outpouring of praise for Abhishek Bachchan's performance in "Kaalidhar Laapata" is a testament to his growth as an actor and his ability to connect with audiences on an emotional level. The film's success has not only made his father proud but has also reaffirmed Abhishek's position as a prominent figure in the Indian film industry.
