Abhishek Bachchan celebrates 10 years of Paa; reveals he did not want to act in the film

Paa is the first movie Abhishek Bachchan produced. As the film completes 10 years, the actor shared a BTS video from the film and wrote a long note thanking everyone involved in the project. “10 years already. This 1st film I produced,” he wrote.

He further wrote, “It would not have been possible without the conviction of this mad visionary called R. Balki! Not many know, I didn’t want to act in the film (wasn’t convinced about my role) Balki and I were shooting an ad together and he spent the day convincing me. After hours of badgering, in an attempt to just get him to stop – I said yes!”

Abhishek Bachchan sure did not regret agreeing to do the film. “It turned out to be such a fun and memorable experience. I’m so glad he had the tenacity and belief in my capabilities to relentlessly pursue me. His conviction in me and his ability to steer me through this journey is something I will never be able to repay him for or thank him enough for. I’m so proud of this film!”

In the film, Abhishek Bachchan played Amitabh Bachchan’s father. Amitabh Bachchan plays 12-year-old who suffers from a rare genetic disorder called progeria. Vidya Balan plays the role of Amitabh Bachchan’s mother.

They were all the backbone of this film. The amazing crew. Starting with the great PC sir and Raja sir. Anil Naidu, Sunil Babu, our amazing make-up team, the amazing AD’s, Hitendra Ghosh, the costume team and the rest of the unit.To my Auro. My PAA. For having faith in his son to firstly play his father and then allow him to produce an Amitabh Bachchan film!!! To Vidya, Arundhathi ji, Paresh ji and the rest of the cast for being flawless and so supportive. I owe you all so much gratitude (coz I’m sure I signed all your checks ????????). And lastly to the audience for seeing the film and making it such a success. Forever indebted,” he concluded.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Abhishek Bachchan is currently shooting for the film The Big Bull produced by Ajay Devgn Films.

All of Shashi Kapoor’s favourite women

Though fiercely devoted to his wife Jennifer in real life, on screen Shashi Kapoor was every heroine’s no.1 in the most ‘Most Handsome’ list. The affable actor had a way of looking compatible with all his heroines. Here’s a list of his most compatible leading ladies.

1. Sharmila Tagore:

All of Shashi Kapoor’s favourite women

Though all her blockbusters were with Rajesh Khanna, Sharmila Tagore insists her most favourite co-star was Shashi Kapoor. Married to one of the handsomest men in India, Sharmila openly designates Shashi as the most handsome man she has met. They first worked together in B R Chopra’s Waqt. Weirdly most of their films together like Paap Aur Punya, Aa Gale Lag Jaa, Anari, Aamne Samne, My Love and Suhana Safar were flops. In 1985 they starred together in the significant political expose New Delhi Times for which Shashi won the National award for best actor. Many consider this to be Shashi’s finest performance in a Hindi film.

 

2. Hema Malini:

All of Shashi Kapoor’s favourite women

They first starred together in Subodh Mukherjee production Abhinetri where Shashi replaced Jeetendra at the last minute. Subsequently the suave Shashi and the beautiful Hema co-starred in Naach Uthe Sansar, Jahan Pyar Miley, Aap Beati and Trishul. Though their films together seldom worked, they loved working together. Hema maintain Shashi was a thorough gentleman.

 

3. Nanda:

All of Shashi Kapoor’s favourite women

She was older than Shashi and took him under her wings. They first worked together in Mehndi Lagi Mere Haath in 1961 which was a flop. Then they did the blockbuster Jab Jab Phool Khile together, the biggest hit of Shashi’s career. But the pair’s subsequent films like Juari, Rootha Na Karo, Neend Hamari Khwab Tumhare and Raja Saab were miserable flops.

 

4. Zeenat Aman:

All of Shashi Kapoor’s favourite women

They were first brought together by Shashi’s brother Raj Kapoor in the historic flop Satyam Shivum Sunderam but were declared a hit Jodi after Chori Mera Kaam. In Roti Kapada Aur Makaan Zeenat chose Manoj Kumar over Shashi,thereby confirming she was always a lousy lover-chooser.

 

5. Raakhee Gulzar:

All of Shashi Kapoor’s favourite women

Beginning with Sharmilee in 1971 Shashi did quite a number of films with Raakhee like Janwar Aur Insaan, Baseraa and Trishna. But the one that we love to remember them by is Yash Chopra’s Kabhi Kabhie. When actress Shammi turned producer with Pighalta Aasman Shashi and Raakhee sportingly replaced Rajesh Khanna and Shabana Azmi at the last minute.Raakhee loved to cook during shooting. Shashi loved to eat. But his wife Jennifer wouldn’t let him.

 

6. Rekha:

All of Shashi Kapoor’s favourite women

She was Shashi’s favourite heroine. She starred in his prestigious production Utsav and also in his other productions Vijeta and Kalyug. The commercial films Shashi did with Rekha like NeeyatKali Ghata and Baseraa were flops. If the truth be told, they did no successful films together.

 

7. Shabana Azmi: 

All of Shashi Kapoor’s favourite women

Shabana learnt to appreciate and enjoy the grammar of commercial cinema through her association with Shashi. She was as comfortable doing Shyam Benegal’s Junoon with Shashi as she was doing the commercial hit Fakira. Many of their masala films together like Atithee, Chor Sipahee, Hira Aur Patthar and Oonch Neech Beech were plainly awful. They were last seen together in Ismail Merchant’s In Custody which was one of Shashi’s final roles.
