Amitabh Bachchan Proudly Calls Abhishek ‘Pita ka Garv' After Watching 'Be Happy' Trailer

The preview for Abhishek Bachchan's forthcoming movie, Be Joyful, was unveiled earlier this week on Monday, March 3. Directed by well-known choreographer and filmmaker Remo D'Souza, the dance-drama is slated for a direct-to-digital launch. Bypassing a conventional cinema release, the film will debut exclusively on the over-the-top streaming service Prime Video on March 14.

Amitabh Bachchan took to X to express his pride in his son, calling Abhishek Bachchan "Pita ka garv" (a father's pride). He also praised Abhishek's performance, stating, "You have defined the character from one film to another."

Abhishek Bachchan's father and superstar Amitabh Bachchan has consistently been supportive of his son and he has showered praise on the Be Joyful trailer as well. When an Abhishek admirer posted the trailer on X (formerly Twitter), Amitabh reshared it and wrote in one tweet.

T 5308 - Abhishek एक पिता का गर्व , कितनी आसानी से एक किरदार से दूसरे किरदार में बदल जाते हो । बधाई हो बधाई स्नेह

- Amitabh Bachchan

In another tweet, he praised Abhishek and penned, "What a lovely story... and how amazingly Abhishek you have defined the character from one film to another.. blessings and love."

The official synopsis of Be Happy reads, "A dance-drama film that follows a single father and his witty, wise beyond-her-years daughter. When his daughter's dream of performing in the country's biggest dance reality show collides with a life-altering crisis, the father is driven to do the unthinkable."

Abhishek Bachchan assumes the role of Shiva, a devoted single parent, in the film, while young talent Inayat Verma embodies his daughter, Dhara. The pair previously collaborated in the darkly comedic crime drama Ludo, which was released directly on a digital platform. The film made its debut on Netflix as a special Diwali release in 2020.
