Abhishek Bachchan, one of the most talented actors in Bollywood, has seen his career grow rapidly. He made his debut in 2000 with the film Refugee, following in the footsteps of his parents, the eminent actors Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. Since then, he has been in a plethora of films, and his dedication and hard work have earned him innumerable awards. Junior AB will now be seen in I Want To Talk, directed by Shoojit Sircar.
