Abhishek Bachchan says dad Amitabh Bachchan scolded him on first day of Sarkar shoot: 'Dialogue bolna aata nahi hai tumhe'

Big B with Abhishek in Sarkar

Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan, who has completed 25 years in the film industry, recalled the time when Amitabh Bachchan scolded him on the first day of filming Sarkar.

Abhishek Bachchan revealed that following the completion of filming for Ram Gopal Varma's Sarkar, his father got really upset.

Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan shared screen space in the political murder thriller Sarkar.

Abhishek recounted his fear of sharing the screen with his father on the very first day of filming in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India.

Big B scolded him later when he was in his car, leaving him 'destroyed.'

“The first time we shot together was for Sarkar. Ramu (Ram Gopal Varma) said that we’ll do some test shoots, and then I could go away and shoot Bunty Aur Babli. This was September 2004. First day, I was panicking and sweating. He says to me, ‘Shankar’, and all I had to do was turn around and say, ‘Ji?’ I was petrified, I was literally shaking. He has that effect," he said.

Abhishek then said that after wrapping up the day's shoot, he waited in his vanity van deciding to leave after his dad had left the set.

But Big B knocked on his vanity van and suggested that they leave together.  Abhishek then said that during their ride home his father was quiet and they didn't interact at all.

"The entire ride back was spent in pin-drop silence. He is just looking straight. When they pulled into their bungalow’s driveway, the staff got out, leaving the two of them alone in the car. He’s just sitting there, and then, in 48 frames, he turned to me. ‘Isiliye maine itne saal mehnat karke tumhe padhaya likhaya? Dialogue bolna aata nahi hai tumhe (Is this why I worked so hard and spent so much on your education? You can’t even say a line properly).’ I felt like I had murdered someone, the way he looked at me. He just destroyed me,” he added.

Abhishek was just 25 years old when he started his career. He made his acting debut with Refugee, directed by JP Dutta.

He will be next seen in Kaalidhar Laapata which will stream on Zee5 from July 4.
