Abhishek Bachchan reveals Jaya Bachchan's reaction when he's always just compared to his father Amitabh Bachchan: 'You're my son too'

Abhishek Bachchan is currently seen in Shoojit Sircar's 'I Want To Talk' for which he's getting a lot of accolades. Many have also called his performance, his career best. The film which is currently running in theatres, sees Abhishek play the role of a real life marketing genius Arjun Sen who is a cancer survivor. In a recent interview, Shoojit Sircar revealed that while working with Abhishek, he reminded him of his mother Jaya Bachchan.

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Shoojit Sircar said, "Abhishek steals your heart in this film, I saw a lot of Jayaji in his performance. You will see her warmth and charm in his character in the film too. I remember Jayaji in a Satyajit Ray film standing near a wall and staring, you will find those stares in his eyes too."

Abhishek reacted to Shoojit's statement and expressed, "Throughout my career of 25 years, there has been such huge reference to my father and his amazing work, but very few attribute anything to my beautiful mother. I am glad Shoojit Da did, she will be very happy. She keeps saying, ‘You’re my son too’. But ya, I am not worthy of being spoken about in the same sentence as these great actors."


Earlier, during an exclusive chat with ETimes, even R Balki had said that Abhishek is more like his mother Jaya Bachchan and the actor had completely agreed. "I think I'm more like my mother, instead of my father. My style and everything, he had said.


As 'I Want To Talk' has released, Abhishek is now shooting for 'Housefull 5' which has now begun its final schedule.
