ABHISHEK BACHCHAN ON HIS CHARACTER
At the India Today Conclave Mumbai 2022, Abhishek admitted that it was challenging for him to play his role in Breathe: Into The Shadows 2.
“It is immensely difficult. Acting is difficult. As good as we think we are, at the end of the day, you dwell into personal experiences and emotions to try and replicate them in a scene. And keeping that in mind, it becomes very difficult being a parent of a daughter [Aaradhya Bachchan]. And in Breathe 2, I have a daughter as well, for whom I do all this. Obviously, there is a lot of resonance. It does hit home a bit. And Mayank doesn’t shy away from reminding you of your personal life, in order to get the correct emotion for a scene,” he said.
WHAT AMITABH BACHCHAN TOLD ABHISHEK
Abhishek further went down memory lane and revealed what his father Amitabh Bachchan told him at the beginning of his career. “When I was starting my career, my father once famously told me and I had a similar question about what one should be doing. He told me, ‘There are no subtitles saying, please excuse us, bad performers because he was having a bad day.’ The audience doesn’t care. At the end of the day, you have to disconvince them of the emotion that you are trying to convince them of at that point in time,” he revealed.
Breathe: Into The Shadows 2 will stream on Amazon Prime Video on November 9, 2022.
