The recently released trailer of his new film, "Kaledhar Lapta," has surprised both audiences and critics.
What's Special About the Trailer?
"Kaledhar Lapta" tells a poignant story of Kaledhar (Abhishek Bachchan), a middle-aged man suffering from memory loss. Having faced betrayal and disdain from his family, he recounts being abandoned at the Kumbh Mela. In this profound tragedy, Kaledhar decides to disappear. Then, he unexpectedly encounters a child named Balu (Daivik Bhagehla).
The trailer shows how this chance encounter, initially seemingly insignificant, gradually blossoms into a deep and compelling relationship, beautifully blending humor, pain, and humanity.

Let's see why even the trolls are silent on social media: One user wrote, "Abhishek Bachchan is criminally underrated. We've made a mistake in underestimating him. He has delivered a beastly performance." Another commented, "Success is destined for those who are meant to achieve it. Abhishek Bachchan is a perfect example of this."
Actor and Director's Statements
Abhishek Bachchan described the role as a "revelation" for him. He considers Kaledhar a "fragile, childlike, human being," who compelled him to tap into emotional aspects he hadn't explored in a long time.
