This is a story of a remarkable turnaround of Abhishek Bachchan who after five years with 17 flops has become the new darling of the Bollywood box office and one of the hottest male stars around.The success of Bunty Aur Babli, Sarkar, Dus, Dhoom and Guru has pushed him to the front of Bollywood's Generation Next and showed, finally, that he has the acting and dancing skills to sustain his elevation as a vehicle for box-office success.
Despite being Amitabh Bachchan's son, it has not been easy for him to find his place in the Bollywood sun. The true master in this business is the box office. In some ways, it was more of a handicap than an advantage because of the weight of expectation. The failures got to a point where he began to question whether he had chosen the right profession. There were no real reference points either. In India, dynasties exist not only in politics and business. The movie industry has seen the Kapoors, the Khans, the Roshans, the Deol. They launched their progeny into films, some made it, some flopped, while others are limping along.
What sets Abhishek apart is his blend of western sophistication and home-grown values. He is the first hip hop Hindi film star.
