He complimented Abhishek for playing different roles in movies, and wrote, “each role he has accepted and played has been with immense dedication .. he has ever delivered the character to perfection… his choice of films and roles has guided him to give him opportunity to try something different…”

He added, "and I remember the words written in my Autograph book as a youngster, by the great Hindi poet laureate, Shri Ram Dhari Singh 'Dinkar' , when he would often visit our home in Allahabad, now Prayagraj…

"'Success comes to those who dare and act’, 'act' not in reference to acting on stage or film but in life to be dare and to act… Abhishek has ever done that .. he has dared to take on films and characters that challenged him .. and he 'acted' .. he dared to act and be recognised,” added Amitabh Bachchan.
