Since he was interested in acting and his father Amitabh Bachchan supports his decision, he stopped studying business in United States and joined in Films. From the beginning of his career, it wasn’t hard to spot the young AB in this AB. The similarity of the towering six foot frame looming large, the trademark quick wit, the same endearing persona which beckons you, and the same solitary Amitabh likeness which makes you retrace a few steps. All this adds up to an enigmatic persona that is hard to resist. Not surprisingly then his debut has always been a topic of discussion. Although his parents kept insisting that the boy was more interested in the behind-the-scenes intricacies of film-making, that he was much too young for stardom, that he was planning to go abroad for higher studies in another field, no one was buying these stories. Abhishek was destined to be a star.
The beginnig of the career had to be carefully planned. A lot of planning and thought went into deciding who would be the chosen one to launch him. After the mega success of Bandit Queen Shekhar Kapur seemed to be the obvious choice. The rumour mills were buzzing overtime till Shekhar took off for Hollywood ventures like Elizabeth I than Amitabh II. Then Manoj Desai, who heads the Amitabh Bachchan Fan Club, announced that he was going to be launching Abhishek. And papa Amitabh and Shah Rukh Khan were also part of the cast.
