Ajay Devgn reminisced with old snapshots on stories, offering hearty birthday cheers. Jackie Shroff crafted a touching video montage, celebrating Abhishek’s life and legacy with a straightforward ‘Happy Birthday, Abhishek.’
Reflecting on Abhishek’s career arc, he navigated high expectations, box-office flops, and naysayers early on. Yet, his stellar performances in ‘Yuva,’ ‘Dhoom,’ and ‘Guru’ transformed perceptions, captivating audiences and solidifying his position as a versatile actor.
On the work front, anticipation surrounds his role in the historical epic ‘Raja Shivaji,’ helmed by Riteish Deshmukh, hitting screens on May 1 for Maharashtra Day. In ‘King,’ Abhishek embraces the antagonist, sharing screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and his daughter Suhana Khan in her big-screen debut. Slated for December 24, 2026, it’s poised to be a festive cinematic treat.
These gestures underscore the respect Abhishek commands, blending enduring friendships with a promising slate of films.
