Abhishek Bachchan Breaks Silence On His Fallout With J P Dutta & The Controversial Exit From Paltan!
While promoting Manmarziyaan, when Abhishek was asked to comment on his sudden exit from Paltan, here's what the actor said it left the film owing to personal reasons.
You
all
must
be
aware
of
the
fact
that
Abhishek
Bachchan
was
the
first
choice
for
Paltan,
but
after
giving
his
nod
to
the
film,
the
actor
opted
himself
out
and
it
left
the
director
J
P
Dutta
miffed!
For
the
uninitiated,
J
P
Dutta
had
launched
Abhishek
Bachchan
in
Refugee
and
even
worked
with
him
in
Umrao
Jaan
and
LOC
Kargil.
While
promoting
Manmarziyaan,
when
Abhishek
was
asked
to
comment
on
his
sudden
exit
from
Paltan,
here's
what
the
actor
had
to
say.
Abhishek
Left
Paltan
Owing
To
Personal
Reasons
"I
was
obviously
doing
Paltan
and
for
personal
reasons,
I
had
to
bow
out
of
the
film.
It
was
devastating
for
me
because
it's
JP
saab.
He
didn't
only
launch
me
but
he
has
been
like
a
mentor,
a
family
to
me."
Have
Things
Turned
Sour
Between
Abhishek
&
Mr
Dutta?
"He
is
somebody
I
love
immensely
and
I
really
wanted
to
be
there
for
him
especially
when
he
was
going
on
this
journey
because
he
was
making
a
film
after
so
long.
But
it
was
heartbreaking
for
me
to
not
be
able
to
stand
by
him
during
the
making
of
the
film."
Abhishek
Was
All
Praises
For
Paltan
While
praising
the
trailer,
he
said,
"The
promo
is
fantastic.
I
am
really
looking
forward
to
it.
It's
coming
up
on
the
seventh
and
I
am
really
excited
about
it.
I
have
always
wished
him
the
best
and
I
am
always
there
for
him
and
he
knows
that.
Our
relationship
goes
much
beyond
than
making
films.
I
will
be
the
first
person
in
the
cinema
to
see
it."
Abhishek
Also
Asserted
That
He
Had
Spoken
To
J
P
Dutta
About
His
Exit
"Of
course,
I
have
spoken
to
him.
I
messaged
(him).
I
tweeted
about
it.
He
is
the
best
at
what
he
does.
I
am
partial
and
I
am
biased.
I
will
always
be
and
unabashedly
so," said
Abhishek.
On
the
work
front,
Abhishek
will
be
next
seen
in
Manmarziyaan.
The
film
is
all
set
to
hit
the
theatres
on
September,
14.
The
film
is
helmed
by
Anurag
Kashyap
and
it
also
casts
Taapsee
Pannu
and
Vicky
Kaushal.
