'Asia's sexiest man' Abhishek Bachchan believes that Bollywood produces some good quality and meaningful cinema.
Abhishek cites Karan Johar 's latest magnum opus Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna as a product of good quality and meaningful cinema
Abhishek is indignant at accusations levelled at Bollywood for not churning out responsible movies.
"In a film industry where we are accused of not making responsible films, Karan is blamed for making a good film like KANK," he said.
The Junior Bachchan said he feels privileged to be associated with megastars like his dad Amitabh Bachchan , superstar Shah Rukh Khan , Rani Mukherjee and Preity Zinta and said it feels good to be "critically acclaimed".
In a tte--tte with reporters at the ITC Grand Sheraton in Mumbai on Monday, where he had specially flown down from London for the launch of 'Omega' watches, of which he is the brand ambassador, Abhishek stands by KANK as he puts it, "Karan in his previous films was known as a candy floss director. I think he has shown amazing maturity by making a film like KANK, which is thought-provoking and makes you question some very basic things."
"Karan has brought up a very pertinent question in his film 'KANK' - 'What if you find your soul mate after marriage?"' added Abhishek.
After being chosen the new face of Omega watches, Abhishek joins the illustrious line of stars like Michael Schumacher, Super model Cindy Crawford and Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman.
"My first watch was a Snoopy when I was four-year-old, something I rather not talk about. I gifted an Omega watch to my mom some time ago," said Abhishek.
