MUMBAI – Bollywood’s superstar Abhishek Bachchan is ready to return to the big screen with Anurag Kashyap’s upcoming film, Manmarziyaan. The film is a love triangle set in Punjab and also stars Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal.
Speaking of his return, costar, Taapsee Pannu says for her it only reflects one thing: strength.
Pannu shared with the media that, “Abhishek will sometimes be sure, sometimes unsure of things but you need strength to survive all the ups and downs. Then to take a break to sort things out and return with a film like Manmarziyaan. It is not a conventional heroic film for him to do. It is very brave and he is strong as a person to do that. It requires courage”.

Considering the storyline revealed by the trailer, Manmarziyaan has been dubbed as a women-oriented film by many. However, when in an interview, Abhishek was asked if he agreed, he clearly rejected the claim.
“I am against this whole thing of ‘women-oriented films’. I think it is a wonderful story of three individuals. What I like about the film is especially the ladies are going to appreciate the perspective that Anurag has taken in the film. He has not judged anybody.

He further added, “Especially women in our society have become so used to being judged for everything and what’s wonderful about this film is that here the girl is wild at heart, is free and neither of her two loves ever judge her or ask her to change. They just love her for what she is. That I think is a very empowering thing for a woman to see,” he answered.
