After a brief sabbatical from film, Abhishek Bachchan is returning with "Manmarziyaan" and his co-star Taapsee Pannu calls the actor's decision to take a break extremely "brave and courageous."
"If you talk about his background, he is Amitabh Bachchan's son and he has a legacy on top of him. Yes, they (star kids) do get privilege of being a star regardless of whatever work they do. But he has proved himself as an actor in films. It is not that he is totally devoid of good performance and we all know that."
"But it doesn't make things easy for them because they have a name to live up to and people to answer to. I don't have that baggage."
