With upcoming projects like ‘Ghoomer’, Remo D’souza’s next amidst many more, Abhishek Bachchan has his hands full with work. Apart from being an actor, Abhishek is also enjoying being a sports entrepreneur. But since this morning, many reports suggested that the actor will follow in the footsteps of his star parents Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan and step into politics soon.
A report in Bharat Samachar said that, Abhishek will join Akhilesh Yadav‘s Samajwadi Party, and contest elections from the Allahabad constituency just like his dad.But ETimes spoke to a source who said, “It’s totally untrue.” With that, it is now confirmed that these speculations and reports are false. There’s no truth to this story.
Earlier, in an interview, in 2013, Abhishek had spoken about a career in politics. He had expressed, “My parents have been into politics but I don’t see myself doing it. I might take on a politician’s role on-screen but in real life it’s a big no. I will never get into it.”
Meanwhile, Abhishek’s hands are full at the moment, since he has back-to-back projects lined up. In an exclusive chat with ETimes, the actor had spoken about his upcoming projects. He said, “In the first six months of the year, I finished two films. The last 3-4 years have been thankfully very busy. We produced a film called ‘SSS7’ which I did more as a personal exercise because I thought it would be very challenging to be the only actor in the frame. That kind of thing hasn’t been done in Hindi for over 40-50 years. I think Dutt Sahab did it in the 50s or 60s. I can’t remember the exact date. I had a month off, I went to Chennai and we shot that film. We’re in the last leg of the post-production and after that we’ll slate it for release. ‘Ghoomer’ is ready for release. I finished a film with Emmay Entertainment earlier this year and in a couple of months, it should be ready. I just wrapped a film with Remo D’souza. In August, I start my next film with Shoojit Sircar. So, next year I will have a flurry of releases.”
Clearly then, he doesn’t seem to have time for politics now!
