After
a
brief
sabbatical
from
the
film
industry,
Abhishek
Bachchan
is
returning
with
Manmarziyaan
and
his
co-star
Taapsee
Pannu
calls
the
actor's
decision
to
take
a
break
from
cinema
as
extremely
brave
and
courageous.
Post
his
2016
release,
Housefull
3,
Abhishek
took
time
off
from
cinema,
as
he
went
on
to
analyse
where
his
career
was
headed
to.
His
decision
to
hold
off
for
a
while
may
show
that
the
instability
in
the
industry
puts
everyone
on
the
same
level
-
be
it
a
star
kid
or
an
outsider
-
but
Taapsee
says
for
her
it
only
reflects
one
thing:
strength.
"Abhishek
will
sometimes
be
sure,
sometimes
unsure
of
things
but
you
need
strength
to
survive
all
the
ups
and
downs.
Then
to
take
a
break
to
sort
things
out
and
return
with
a
film
like
'Manmarziyaan'.
It
is
not
a
conventional
heroic
film
for
him
to
do.
It
is
very
brave
and
he
is
strong
as
a
person
to
do
that.
It
requires
courage," Taapsee
told
PTI.
The
Pink
star
says
it
would
be
wrong
to
say
that
Abhishek
has
not
proved
himself
as
a
performer
in
the
industry.
"If
you
talk
about
his
background,
he
is
Amitabh
Bachchan's
son
and
he
has
a
legacy
on
top
of
him.
Yes,
they
(star
kids)
do
get
privilege
of
being
a
star
regardless
of
whatever
work
they
do.
But
he
has
proved
himself
as
an
actor
in
films.
It
is
not
that
he
is
totally
devoid
of
good
performance
and
we
all
know
that."
The
31-year-old
actor
says
there
is
both
an
advantage
and
a
disadvantage
in
having
a
famous
last
name.
"They
(star
kids)
will
never
have
a
dearth
of
opportunities
but
they
have
to
filter
things.
Unlike
people
like
me,
who
have
a
dearth
of
opportunities
at
the
first
place,
forget
about
filtering
the
offers.
That's
the
difference.
But
it
doesn't
make
things
easy
for
them
because
they
have
a
name
to
live
up
to
and
people
to
answer
to.
I
don't
have
that
baggage."
