It
was
just
a
4-hour
visit
to
Dubai
for
Abhishek
Bachchan
on
Wednesday
(9
December).
But
what
the
heck!
Anything
for
Pa.
And
we
do
mean
Pa
with
one
'a'.
Abhishek
air
dashed
to
Dubai
not
for
the
screening
of
their
film
Paa,
but
to
cheer
his
dad
who
received
lifetime-achievement
award
at
the
Dubai
International
Film
Festival
on
Wednesday.
Says
a
close
friend
of
Abhishek,
"It
doesn't
matter
to
Abhishek
how
many
lifetime
achievement
awards
his
father
gets.
Each
one
is
equally
special.
And
he
will
make
it
a
point
to
be
present
for
each
one."
Abhishek
was
shooting
non-stop
for
Ashutosh
Gowariker's
Khelen
Hum
Jee
Jaan
Se
in
Goa.
He
took
a
day
off
from
the
premiere.
And
now
for
Dubai.
Says
the
friend,
"Since
Abhishek's
flight
to
Dubai
was
from
Mumbai,
he
first
had
to
fly
from
Goa
to
Mumbai
then
to
Dubai
and
back
through
the
same
route
to
join
Ashutosh's
crew
in
Goa
on
Thursday."
Abhishek
was
in
Dubai
for
barely
four
hours,
just
long
enough
to
see
his
father
receive
the
life-time
achievement.
"I
had
to
be
there,
that's
it," says
Abhishek.
The
one
member
of
the
Bachchan
family
who
has
been
burning
the
midnight
oil
for
Paa
is
Abhishek.
Even
while
shooting
in
Goa,
he
was
overseeing
all
the
premiere
plans
in
Mumbai
making
sure
the
invitees
were
not
left
out.
Says
Abhishek's
friend,
"Aishwarya
was
so
busy
shooting
for
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali,
she
just
couldn't
devote
enough
time
to
the
Paa
premiere
preparation.
Abhishek
took
charge
from
Goa,
opened
a
makeshift
AB
Corp
office
in
Goa."
The
young
actor
now
intends
to
take
charge
of
the
family's
production
plans
fully.
A
number
of
new
films
from
AB
Corp
Ltd
are
expected
to
be
announced
in
the
next
few
months.
And
Abhishek
will
be
the
production
company's
visible
face.
