Abhishek Bachchan is an Indian actor and film producer known for his work in Hindi films. He made his acting debut opposite Kareena Kapoor in J. P. Dutta's war drama Refugee (2000), where his portrayal of the titular unnamed refugee earned a nomination for the Filmfare Best Male Debut Award.[1] However, his subsequent films failed at the box office°, including Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai (2001), and Shararat (2002).[2] His career prospects improved in 2004, when he played a gangster in Mani Ratnam's political drama Yuva and a police officer in Sanjay Gadhvi's action thriller Dhoom.[2][3] The former won him his first Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor,[4] and the latter became one of the highest-grossing films of the year and his first commercial success.[2][5]
In 2005, Bachchan teamed up with his father twice in Ram Gopal Varma's thriller Sarkar and the crime comedy Bunty Aur Babli. The latter was the second highest-grossing film of the year,[6] and his performance in Sarkar earned him a second Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor.[7] That same year, he appeared in the Bengali film Antarmahal (2005). 2006 proved to be key for Bachchan, as he received his third consecutive Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Karan Johar's musical romantic drama Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006),[8] and reprised his role in the action sequel Dhoom 2 (2006), which became the highest-grossing Bollywood film to that point.[9] Bachchan next starred alongside Aishwarya Rai in Ratnam's critically and commercially successful drama Guru (2007), a biopic inspired by the life of businessman Dhirubhai Ambani.[10] His title role in the film was positively received.[2]
In 2008, Bachchan appeared in Varma's Sarkar Raj, the romantic comedy Dostana and the superhero film Drona. His first production was Paa (2009), starring him and his father, a comedy-drama which won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi.[11] This was followed by a brief career downturn with a series of flops, including Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's satire Delhi-6 (2009), Ratnam's Raavan (2010) and the action thriller Game (2011).[2] The comedy Bol Bachchan (2012), co-starring Ajay Devgan, proved to be his first box-office success since Paa.[12][13] He followed this with supporting roles in two of the highest-grossing Indian films – Dhoom 3 (2013) and Happy New Year (2014).[14][15] Following the 2016 comedy Housefull 3,[16] Bachchan took a break and made a comeback with the romantic drama Manmarziyaan (2018).[17][18]
