Abhishek Bachchan Had A Remarkable 25 Years In Bollywood

Abhishek Bachchan’s journey in Bollywood has been anything but ordinary. Over the past 25 years, he has carved a path defined by bold choices and a remarkable range. From the charged idealism of Yuva to the driven ambition of Guru, the quiet complexity of Manmarziyaan to the psychological intrigue of Bob Biswas, and the heartfelt social commentary of Dasvi, his filmography reflects an artist unafraid to reinvent himself.

With every role, Abhishek has stepped beyond familiar boundaries, consistently challenging both his craft and audience expectations. Now, under the direction of Shoojit Sircar, I Want To Talk marked yet another milestone, showcasing Abhishek in one of his most layered and emotionally resonant performances to date, as a father facing mortality while yearning to reconnect with his daughter.
