After
three
back-to-back
action
films
–
Mani
Ratnam"s
Raavan,
Ashutosh
Gowariker"s
Khelenge
Hum
Jee
Jaan
Se
and
Abhinay
Deo"s
Game
–
Abhishek
Bachchan
has
had
enough
action
to
last
him
a
while.
He"s
all
set
for
a
complete
change
of
pace
with
three
comedies
to
be
directed
by
Tarun
Mansukhani,
Anees
Bazmi,
and
Vipul
Shah.
The
decision
to
move
away
from
grueling,
back-breaking
and
physically
assertive
action
for
a
while
is
a
conscious
one.
Abhishek
has
just
returned
from
the
shooting
of
Game
in
Greece
and
Istanbul.
The
action
scenes
in
Game
were
the
opposite
of
the
ones
in
Raavan.
While
Abhishek"s
character
in
Raavan
had
to
survive
by
instinct
in
the
jungles,
in
Game
Abhishek
performed
some
slick
technically
precise
stunts.
So
is
he
deliberately
phasing
out
his
career
from
project
to
project,
genre
to
genre?
Protests
Abhishek,
“I"m
not
the
calculating
actor.
I
don"t
choose
the
genres.
Rather
the
genres
choose
me.
I
follow
my
heart".
The
challenge
now
is,
how
to
make
Dostana
2
funnier.
Says
Abhishek,
“Initially
I
was
against
doing
a
sequel
to
Dostana.
I
couldn"t
see
how
Tarun
Mansukhani
could
make
it
funnier.
How
could
he
rise
to
the
occasion?
Tarun
said,
'Let
me
write
the
script.
You"ll
be
the
first
person
I"d
narrate
it
to.
If
you
don"t
like
it
then
I"d
throw
it
out".
Believe
me
Dostana
2
would
be
twice
as
funny
as
Dostana".
Another
sequel
to
a
sequel,
Dhoom
3,
is
also
about
to
begin.
“Dhoom
3
is
being
scripted.
Dhoom
is
nothing
without
Uday
and
my
character.
Uday
Chopra
and
I
are
the
film"s
backbone." Lots
of
work
for
Abhishek.
“I
am
impatient.
I
like
to
do
a
lot
of
work.
I"m
happy
with
the
zest
with
which
I
work.
If
tomorrow
I
want
to
do
only
one
film
a
year
I"ll
do
that.
Right
now
I"m
enjoying
being
a
prolific
actor.
How
many
actors
can
claim
to
have
done
two
films
as
diverse
as
Paa
and
Raavan
one
after
another?"
