Dad is a great source of inspiration: Abhishek Bachchan With eight years in tinsel town and a mixed bag of performances, Abhishek Bachchan, who turned 33 on Thursday, says his acting style is more like his mother Jaya's rather than of his iconic father Amitabh Bachchan."Dad is an inspiration to the whole world. His creativity, dedication is legendary. He is a great source of inspiration. However, my acting style is more like my mother. I would like to believe that I have the best of both," the Bachchan told us in an email interview.
Abhishek, who suffered a setback at the box—office with 'Drona' last year, hopes for a turnaround with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's ambitious film 'Dilli 6'. The actor considers himself fortunate to get an opportunity to work with some of the veterans in Mehra's film like Waheeda Rehman, Rishi Kapoor and Om Puri.
"The script was novel and had a great narrative but the clinching factor was the cast. When Rakeysh discussed with me the cast of the film, I just knew that I had to be a part of this film."Where can a actor get the opportunity to stand in the same frame as all these great actors we had in this film. It was an awesome experience," Abhishek said.
The story of 'Dilli 6' is set in the backdrop of the walled city of Delhi with Abhishek and Sonam Kapoor in the lead.When asked about his character in the movie, Abhishek said, "I am playing the character of Roshan Mehra who is born and brought up in New York.
"Roshan has never been to India but the course of the film brings him to his ancestral home for the first time. The challenge of the character was to stick out and blend into the surroundings," he said.
