Directed

is
the
story
of
a
12-year-old

'Auro',
which
was
essayed
by

from
a
rare
genetic
disorder
called
'progeria'.
Abhishek
played
the
role
of
Amitabh's
father
and
actress

the
role
of
Big

mother.
As
the
film
turned
10
today,
the
father
and
son
duo
looked
back
at
the
memories!
'Paa'
won
two
National
Awards,
one
in
the
Best
Actor
honour
category
which
was
won
by

Bachchan
and
other
in
the
category
of

Hindi
Film
trophy.
Abhishek
took
to
Instagram
to
pen
an
emotional
note
on
the
film.
He
wrote,
"PAA!!
10
years
already.
This
first
film
I
produced.
It
would
not
have
been
possible
without
the
conviction
of
this
mad
visionary
called
R.
Balki!
Not
many
know,
I
didn't
want
to
act
in
the
film
(
wasn't
convinced
about
my
role)
Balki
and
I
were
shooting
an
ad
together
and
he
spent
the
day
convincing
me.
After
hours
of
badgering,
in
an
attempt
to
just
get
him
to
stop
-
I
said
yes!
It
turned
out
to
be
such
a
fun
and
memorable
experience.
I'm
so
glad
he
had
the
tenacity
and
belief
in
my
capabilities
to
relentlessly
pursue
me.
His
conviction
in
me
and
his
ability
to
steer
me
through
this
journey
is
something
I
will
never
be
able
to
repay
him
for
or
thank
him
enough
for.
I'm
so
proud
of
this
film."
Abhishek
thanked
his
father
for
having
faith
in
him
to
firstly
play
his
father
and
then
allow
him
to
produce
the
film.
Abhishek
added,
"To
Vidya,
Arundhathi
ji,
Paresh
ji
and
the
rest
of
the
cast
for
being
flawless
and
so
supportive.
I
owe
you
all
so
much
gratitude
(
coz
I'm
sure
I
signed
all
your
checks
????).
And
lastly
to
the
audience
for
seeing
the
film
and
making
it
such
a
success.
Forever
indebted."
Amitabh
took
to
his
blog
to
share
his
astonishment.
He
said
he
was
amazed
at
its
accomplishment
and
the
outcome.
He
praised
R
Balki,
the
film's
director,
for
his
efficiency
and
unique
ideas.
He
further
thanked
Balki
for
his
enthusiasm
and
endeavours.
