According
to
Vidya
Balan,
Mani
Ratnam's
Guru
is
Abhishek
Bachchan's
show
all
the
way.
The
child-man
at
the
center
of
unstoppered
attention
is
delighted.
"Did
Vidya
really
say
that?
So
sweet
of
her.
Any
actor
getting
to
work
with
Mani
is
lucky.
I've
worked
with
him
twice
and
I
feel
twice
lucky.
He's
a
sheer
pleasure
to
work
with
.
Rest
assured
when
you
work
with
a
director
of
Mani's
caliber
he's
going
to
challenge
you
into
discovering
new
areas
of
your
personality.
This
is
what
has
happened
in
Guru.
Working
with
Mani
is
a
huge
learning
experience".
Abhishek has just shot for Shaad Ali's Jhoom Baraabar Jhoom. "I'm here with Shaad Ali, Preity and Lara Dutta...all friends. It's great fun. I'm absolutely relaxed as long as I get to work with friends. It's very important for me to be working in a comfortable atmosphere. Fortunately I've worked mostly with friends so far. Or directors who've become friends in the course of a film being made. That explains why I'm doing Shaad's next and Goldie Behl's second Drona."
Now that Abhishek is being recognized as a star to reckon with, what would he rather be known as : a star or an actor? "An actor of course. Because once you're a capable actor the stardom happens automatically. Isn't that what happened in my dad's case? "
Abhishek hasn't signed any new films. "No one wants to sign me on, what to do," he mock-sighs, and then gets serious. "No matter what you say about my career I'm not satisfied. We creative people are very selfish. Every time you see a film that doesn't star you, you wish you had done it. When I look around I feel there's so much good work being done and how little I've achieved. I'd like to do a lot more work. I see the kind of work my dad is doing at his age. I can only hope and pray I'm able to do that caliber and quantity of work when I reach dad's age."
