Amitabh Bachchan Moved to Tears Watching Son Abhishek’s Performance in Upcoming Sports Drama ‘Ghoomer
Renowned actor Amitabh Bachchan was deeply moved by the upcoming sports drama “Ghoomer,” which features his son Abhishek Bachchan in a lead role. In a heartfelt blog post shared early on Tuesday, Amitabh revealed that he was so captivated by the film that he watched it twice and couldn’t hold back his tears. The veteran actor also took the opportunity to praise the film’s director, R Balki.
In “Ghoomer,” Abhishek Bachchan shares the screen with Saiyami Kher, and their performances seem to have left a profound impact on Amitabh Bachchan. He expressed his emotions in his blog caption, saying, “So yes, saw ‘Ghoomer’ back to back twice… Sunday afternoon… and then at night again… and the verdict is beyond mention… simply incredible.” He went on to admit that his eyes were teary from the very first frame of the movie, especially given his personal connection to the lead actor. “When the progeny is involved, they flow copiously… and each reaction has some wonder in their thoughts and words and deeds,” he added.
Amitabh Bachchan also shared his thoughts on the film’s content, which revolves around the game of cricket and a young girl’s ambition. However, he emphasized that the film’s impact goes beyond the game itself. “It is really the feel of the depiction and its impress upon not just the game, but of the effect of family, of the mother, of what middle India stands for in our lives,” he wrote.
He praised the simplicity of the film’s narrative and credited director R Balki for expertly presenting a complex idea in an accessible manner. “It is the deftness with which R Balki has knitted before us, in the simplest of manner, a most complex idea… of losers and winners… of what each one of us has been through.”
Amitabh Bachchan also quoted a powerful line from the film, reflecting on the emotions of both winners and losers: “Ek loser kya mehsoos karta hai, woh toh mujhe maloom hai; main dekhna chahta hun ki ek winner kya, kaese mehsoos karte hain.” He praised the brilliance of the writing and its ability to resonate with people’s real-life experiences.
As the release date of “Ghoomer” approaches, it’s clear that the film has already left a lasting impact on its audience, especially on Amitabh Bachchan, who couldn’t help but be moved by his son’s performance and the film’s engaging storyline.
