'Even while we were shooting 'Jhoom', we knew the humour in the movie, so unprecedented, would take time to find its groove among the audiences,' Abhishek said.
'(Director) Shaad (Ali) and we all knew a lot of the audience wouldn't get the point. But we were sure 'Jhoom' would find its level. If you remember, Bunty Aur Babli too unsettled the audience initially.'
Abhishek, who dazzled the audience with his dancing skills at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards event this month, said: 'The fun part of it was that I had a whole congregation of dhol players joining me. I must confess I've never had so much fun dancing on stage before.'
In 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom', Abhishek brings a rustic quality into his character Rikki Thukral. He speaks in Punjabi accent, his humour is crass and his demeanor has oodles of attitude of a man who thinks he has “got class”.
