After a brief sabbatical from films, Abhishek Bachchan is returning with Manmarziyaan and his co-star Taapsee Pannu calls the actor’s decision to take a break extremely “brave and courageous.” Post his 2016 release Housefull 3, Abhishek took time off from cinema as he went on analyzing his career and where it was headed.
His decision to hold off for a while may show that instability in the industry puts everyone on the same level — be it a star kid or an outsider — but Taapsee says for her it only reflects one thing: strength.
“Abhishek will sometimes be sure, sometimes unsure of things but you need strength to survive all the ups and downs. Then to take a break to sort things out and return with a film like Manmarziyaan. It is not a conventional heroic film for him to do. It is very brave and he is strong as a person to do that. It requires courage,” Taapsee said.
