Speaking of his parents’ political journey, Amitabh Bachchan had joined Rahul Gandhi in 1984, after he took a break from acting. Despite winning the 8th Lok Sabha election with over 68 percent votes in his favour, his political career was short-lived. He resigned in July 1987 after allegations were levelled against him about his involvement in the Bofors scandal. On the other hand, Jaya Bachchan has had a fruitful political career.
On the work front, Abhishek has a few projects in his pipeline including The Big Bull, based on another financial scam, Ghoomer and SSS7, which is produced by him as well. He also has a Remo D’Souza directorial, co-starring Nora Fatehi, and a Shoojit Sircar directorial.
