The film that has already hogged the limelight for its international appeal, foreign locales, big budget and attractive star casts also marks as the exceptional project for the director- Abbas Mastan.
These days Abhishek is indeed busy promoting his upcoming flick Players. The actor reveals about his film and his bonding with Beti B in an exclusive interview with Bollywoodchaska.com.
How easy or difficult was it to be the part of Players?
It was a wonderful experience working on this film. We have shot in some wonderful locations for the film which is the USP of Players.
In the past few of your major releases- 'Raavan', 'Kheley hum jee jann se', Game didn't fare well at the box office? So what expectations do you have with this your upcoming release?
I believe that every film that releases gives a boost to an actor's career. Be it an upward or a downwards swing. But after shooting the film I am quite optimistic that it will not only be gulped down well by the audiences but will also benefit everyone related to it. I expect and hope to do it good for everyone. I really want people to go and watch film as it is a nice product and audience will like it. Also, I have done some lovely action and romantic sequences.
How many twists and turns are there in the movie?
There are definitely more twist and turns then they were in the India and Australia match last week.
Your father said in a statement earlier that he is reluctant to see the cricket match at home, because whenever he does that, team India loses? Do you also believe so?
No, there's difference between me and my father. I don't believe in any such superstition.
Are you a gaming freak?
I am not a freak but I enjoy playing video games. Although my profession does not give me the liberty of much time to spend on it but given a chance I always indulge in it.
You think that you are an overrated actor?
Yes. I think I have a very long way to go. Thus media has been very kind me to overrate me as an actor.
How has life changed after being a father?
It's too early for any change. But it's a wonderful feeling.
