Actor Abhishek Bachchan, who tasted success as a producer with the National Award winning film “Paa”, says he’s not a huge fan of producing movies.
However, he’s okay with the job as long as he isn’t acting in the project as well. “I hate producing films. It’s just that I got lucky (with ‘Paa’). But I hate it,” Abhishek, who played a reel father to his real father Amitabh Bachchan in the 2009 movie, told. “During ‘Paa’, I had a very difficult time because the producer in me came in the way of the actor in me. I would be more comfortable in producing a film without me acting in it. If I have to produce a film in which I am acting, that would need a lot of preparation and organisation from my part,” he added. Abhishek’s next as a producer is “Shamitabh”, which again stars his megastar father. “‘Shamitabh’ is more enjoyable because I am just the producer in that. Production is a very difficult job and it’s a very thankless job,” said the 38-year-old. “Paa” was also directed by R. Balki, and Abhishek says
the doors of his home production AB Corp will always remain open for the acclaimed filmmaker. “He means a lot to me as a director, and helped me restart my production house with ‘Paa’. He made me into a producer by making’Paa’,” he said.
