Abhishek Bachchan is the son of legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, so anyone was bound to think that his first film was handed to him on a silver platter. However, in a BAFTA interview in 2010, Abhishek had cleared the air about his career and said that he worked as a production assistant before becoming an actor and did all kinds of odd jobs on set.

Abhishek, who made his Bollywood debut opposite Kareena Kapoor Khan with Refugee in 2000, had said, "It took me two years to get a film. I was a production boy making tea and cleaning studio floors. I was also Arshad Warsi’s driver," according to the Manchester Evening News.

For the uninformed, the success of Mani Ratnam’s Yuva and Sanjay Gadhvi’s Dhoom was a turning point in Abhishek’s career. Since then, he has been a part of several hits including the Dhoom series, Guru, Bunty Aur Babli, Paa, and Bol Bachchan.

On the work front, Abhishek has a lot of exciting things lined up ahead including Anurag Basu’s crime anthology Ludo, which also stars Sanya Malhotra, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Rajkummar Rao, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Pankaj Tripathi. Reports suggest that the film might see a direct OTT release owing to the coronavirus pandemic. 

Apart from this, Abhishek also has Kookie Gulati’s The Big Bull in the pipeline, in which he reportedly plays a stockbroker posed on Harshad Mehta. He also has Bob Biswas, a spin-off to 2012 hit Kahaani and the origin story of the insurance agent who was a contract killer.
