Abhishek is the proud owner of Majhi Mumbai.
His father, the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, was present at the stadium to join in the celebrations. With a remarkable victory on their side, the actor enjoyed a delightful cake-cutting ceremony right at the venue.
Majhi Mumbai triumphed over Falcon Risers Hyderabad by four wickets, extending their impressive winning streak to seven consecutive games within the league.
Previously, the actor expressed his thoughts on collaborating with the acclaimed storyteller and National Award-winning director Mani Ratnam.
A recent retrospective of Mani Ratnam was held in Mumbai, featuring a screening of ‘Raavan’. During a panel discussion, Abhishek shared insights into the director's unique approach to filmmaking.
He noted that Mani Ratnam challenges actors to reach their full potential, resulting in performances that leave a lasting impact on viewers. Abhishek has had the privilege of working with Mani Ratnam on two occasions, in ‘Yuva’ and ‘Raavan’.
Reflecting on his experiences, Abhishek stated, “Two pivotal pieces of advice he consistently gave me were to embrace freedom in my performance and to ‘let it out.’ This encouragement significantly boosted my confidence. He places you in challenging scenarios and guides you in a manner that feels authentic. For a performance to resonate with the audience, it must be genuine and believable.”
He further commented, “The essence of his work lies in its grounding in reality. If Mr. Mani Ratnam selects you, it signifies he recognizes potential in you that you may not even perceive. He instills that confidence within you as an actor.”
