Actor
Abhishek
Bachchan
has
expressed
grief
over
the
death
of
Bollywood
filmmaker
OP
Dutta,
who
died
following
a
bout
with
pneumonia.
The
B-Town
star
has
acted
opposite
Aishwarya
Rai
in
the
movie
Umrao
Jaan
for
which
OP
Dutta
had
written
the
story.
On
his
Twitter
page,
Abhi
recalled
his
experience
with
the
scriptwriter.
On
Twitter,
Abhishek
Bachchan
wrote,
"As
soon
as
I
get
off
the
stage,
I
receive
the
terrible
news
of
the
passing
of
Mr
OP
Dutta.
Father
to
J
P
Dutta.
The
director
who
launched
me.
OP
ji
was
JP
saab's
writer
and
dialogue
writer.
He
penned
my
very
first
words
that
I
ever
said
on
screen.
Such
a
loving
man."
The
actor
further
tweeted,
"Full
of
zest,
positivity
and
compassion.
Had
a
great
sense
of
humor
and
so
rich
in
experience.
He
taught
me
one
of
my
greatest
lessons
in
life..."jab
bura
apni
burayi
na
chode,
phir
achcha
apni
achchayi
kyun
chode?"
(If
the
bad
does
not
stop
being
bad,
then
why...
should
the
good
stop
being
good?)
However,
film
Umrao
Jaan
is
about
the
famous
courtesan
of
the
title.
Aishwarya
Rai
has
played
the
title
role,
while
Abhishek
Bachchan
appeared
as
her
love
interest
-
Nawab
Sultan.
The
movie,
which
was
released
in
theatres
on
3rd
November,
2006,
had
failed
to
make
it
big
at
the
Box
Office.
