"Focus On Your Acting": Abhishek Bachchan On Young Actors' Obsession With Six-Pack Abs
Actor Abhishek Bachchan has said that it upsets him when young actors focus on their physique instead of working on their acting skills.
Actor Abhishek Bachchan, who will next be seen in R Balki's 'Ghoomer', has said that it upsets him when young actors focus on their physique instead of working on their acting skills. In an interview with Dainik Bhaskar, Abhishek Bachchan talked about how young actors need to focus on their diction and language instead.
"Jay Dixit (Abhishek's character in Dhoom) was a cop who had to be fit, but he was not the kind who'd take out his shirt and flaunt six-pack abs. I get upset when I see this obsession with six-pack abs. Look at Aamir Khan - he was so fit in Dhoom 3 and he looked fat in (a few portions of) Dangal. Young actors these days believe they can become actors just by getting six-pack abs," Abhishek said.
"Bro, focus on your language... work on your acting skills. That is what makes actors, not (well-built) bodies," he added.
For the unversed, Abhishek Bachchan was last seen in a surprise cameo role as a villain in 'Bholaa' starring Ajay Devgn.
When asked about a sequel to 'Bholaa', Abhishek said that only Ajay Devgn can confirm or deny whether there would be a sequel or not.
For the uninitiated, 'Ghoomer' also stars Saiyami Kher, Angad Bedi and Shabana Azmi. In the movie, Abhishek Bachchan is playing the role of a coach while Saiyami is playing a paraplegic sportsperson in the film.
The movie will be releasing in the theatres on August 18.
