Overview
- Abhishek Bachchan, who marked 26 years in film on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, told ETimes that he has moved from anxiety about getting work to feeling comfortable in front of the camera.
- He said early in his career he worried ‘kaam milega, nahin milega’ and often accepted whatever roles were offered to him.
- Over the past five to seven years, he says he has gained clarity about what roles he will and will not do, which he links to greater maturity and calm.
- He is currently shooting Siddharth Anand’s King with a star-studded cast and media reports say he will play the film’s main antagonist, a casting claim that remains unconfirmed.
- Several recent films of his have underperformed at the box office, and success or a high-profile role in King could affect his commercial standing and future role offers.
