Abhishek Bachchan on playing ‘Kaalidhar’

Abhishek Bachchan has played some of the most heart-touching roles in the past years. From I Want To Talk, Be Happy to Dasvi and Ghoomar, the actor proved that there is no denying that he is truly an impeccable talent. In a recent press note, Abhishek shared his experience working in the film, Kaalidhar Laapata and stated:

“As actors, we often hope for stories that move us before they move anyone else–and Kaalidhar Laapata did exactly that. Playing Kaalidhar was not just a role; it was a revelation. He’s fragile, childlike and deeply human–and through him, I got to explore parts of myself I hadn’t visited in a while. His bond with Ballu–this fierce, fearless child–reminded me that the most unexpected friendships can sometimes teach us the most profound lessons.”

In the same note, Abhishek added that more than anything, it made him reflect on how people measure life. He shared that he is extremely proud of the film and his selection of projects in the past few years. He revealed that this story touched his soul, and he hopes that it touches the audience as well.

Kaalidhar Laapata is another film in my journey that I feel incredibly proud of. Over the past few years, I’ve been consciously seeking stories that offer emotional depth, honesty, and something meaningful to say–and this one ticked every box. It’s a story that touched my soul, and I hope it touches yours too.”
