Following the ill health of his father, actor Abhishek Bachchan has put his film commitments on the backburner.
Abhishek has reportedly put his acting assignments aside to be with his father Amitabh Bachchan who is presently recuperating from an intestinal infection at a Mumbai hospital.
Abhishek was scheduled to shoot for J. P. Dutta ’s movie Umrao Jaan in Rajasthan. The movie’s shooting is already underway in Jaipur with its lead actress Aishwarya Rai and other stars.
As learnt, Abhi will not be able to resume work for a few more days. So, Dutta has postponed Abhi’s schedule and is presently shooting those portions of the movie that involve other artists.
Dutta stresses that Abhishek’s role in the movie is a very significant one. He also clarifies that Abhi’s role is not akin to the one played by actor Farroukh Shaikh in Muzaffar Ali’s movie.
“According to this version, Abhishek has plenty to do. Yes, we're managing without him. But no time is being wasted. I'm shooting scenes with the rest of the cast - Puru Rajkumar , Sunil Shetty , Ayesha Jhulka , Divya Dutta and Ash. Hopefully, Abhishek will join us soon,” Dutta is quoted as saying in an IANS report.
Dutta added that he understood Abhi’s situation. He says that the good health of Amitabh Bachchan is the priority.
