Abhishek Bachchan on Ghoomer being a ‘personal film’
During the interview, Jr Bachchan was asked as to why he said that Ghoomer, his recent release, is a ‘personal film’. To this, the actor replied, “Well, I think that there are a lot of themes in the film that every individual associates with personally. There could be that one dream that you couldn’t fulfil, one goal you couldn’t achieve, maybe because sometimes you’re not good enough or you didn’t work hard enough or it just went out of your hands. Everybody has seen this kind of disappointment. I think that emotion is going to connect with every audience member.”
