Abhiashek Bachchan who is busy in the shooting of Mani Ratnam's 'Guru' in Mumbai doesn't miss any opportunity of fulfilling endorsement offers coming his way whether in Mumbai or elsewhere. Recently, he visited New Delhi for the endorsement of Omega Watches. Earlier, he had endorsed a mobile phone just before going to the shooting of 'Guru'. Regarding endorsements of products, the Junior Bachchan says, "Some companies consider it wise to get their products endorsed by me.

These companies believe that consumers have faith in me. How else they would make offers to me? " He adds that he endorses only those products, which he finds useful as a consumer. " I still possess a mobile that my father gifted me several years ago. This mobile gift has created an emotional bonding between us."

Excerpts of a chat with the actor:

What's 'Guru' all about?

I am very excited about this movie because it is Mani Ratnam's. I cannot tell you more about it at this juncture. However, it is very important for me as I got recognition as an action in 'Yuva' directed by Mani Ratnam.

What are your other movies?

Firstly, I am acting in Karan Johar's 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna'. In this movie, I am working along with my dad. My second movie is J.P.Dutta's 'Umrao Jaan'. This is over. Then, I have shot for 'Dhoom II'. This movie's shooting is also complete and will release before the year-end.

Are you satisfied with your career now?

I am happy, as my parents are happy. I am also happy as an actor because I am getting all sorts of roles to play - from comedies to serious ones.

Is your any movie in the pipeline?

Yes, these movies are like Shaad Ali 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom', then there is Goldie Behl's 'Droan' and there is one of Rohan Sippy besides Rakesh Mehra's 'Delhi 6' and others.
