'It's not a place where you can have a healthy discussion,' says Abhishek Bachchan revealing why he doesn't express on social media
is getting a lot of appreciation for his release, 'Kaalidhar Laapata', which has begun streaming on July 4. The actor was previously seen in 'Housefull 5' and completed 25 years in Hindi cinema recently.
During a chat with ETimes, Abhishek opened up on how he's reduced his social media presence. The actor has now limited his social media for just posting professional updates about his movies.
When asked if it's true that he doesn't express much, he said, "Publicly, yes. I don't express much off-screen. I express on screen. Do you want to know how I feel? Go watch my movie. I don't want to know what actors are like when they're not acting.
I genuinely don't. I'm not interested. I'm interested in what they're doing on screen. Don't shatter that illusion for me."
Is that why he doesn't share much on social media lately? He responds, "Partially yes, and also I feel currently, sadly, and I'm the first person who used to say if you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen but I just feel a lot of social media is just about baiting. It's not a place where you can have a healthy discussion. When it first started you could have a healthy debate or discourse with somebody. Now it's not that.
I use it more professionally now."
Abhishek is currently shooting for 'King' which his father
Amitabh Bachchan
confirmed on social media on the first day when he started the movie. The film stars
Shah Rukh Khan
, Suhana Khan and reportedly, Deepika Padukone as well.

Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 3: Anurag Basu movie earnings soar 18%, inches closer to ₹20 crore mark
Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 3: Anurag Basu's romantic drama found it difficult to cross ₹ 10 crore mark at the domestic box office despite registering an 18 percent uptick in collection on Sunday, July 6. The filmmaker, who marked his return to the film industry after a hiatus of eight years, is finding it hard to impress the audience with the heartfelt narrative of four couples in a contemporary setting. Notably, this relationship drama has crossed the entire lifetime earnings of its prequel — 'Life In A Metro,' which collected ₹ 15.63 crore at the box office, Koimoi reported. Released on May 11, 2007, it missed the hit mark by a very small margin but proved to be a successful film. According to film industry tracker Sacnilk, the movie did a business of ₹ 7.08 crore net in India on its first Sunday, July 10. Wrapping up the weekend with a total collection of ₹ 16.58 crore net, the Bollywood movie witnessed 39.75 percent Hindi occupancy on Sunday. On Saturday, the film saw 71.43 percent increase in earnings and raked in ₹ 6 crore net. On its opening day, July 4, the movie collected ₹ 3.5 crore net. Film trade analyst Sumit Kadel in a post on X stated, '#MetroInDino continues its struggle on Day 2 - adding just ₹ 2.30 Cr over a dismal Friday ( ₹ 3.20 Cr nett) to collect a flat ₹ 5.50 Cr. A ₹ 10 Cr Saturday was the bare minimum for a respectable weekend total, but the film falls way short yet again.' At the worldwide box office, the Sara Ali Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma starrer collected ₹ 12.40 crore gross in 2 days, Sacnilk reported. A total of ₹ 1 crore gross came from overseas earnings. Produced by T-Series and Anurag Kashyap Films, the movie features an ensemble cast. Besides Sara Ali Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma, it features Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, Aditya Roy Kapur, Ali Fazal, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Saswata Chatterjee in key roles.

Dhruv Vikram likely to headline Tamil remake of Hindi action film 'Kill'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Young Tamil star Dhruv Vikram is reportedly in talks to step into the lead role for the Tamil adaptation of Kill, the gritty action thriller that made waves in Bollywood last year. The Hindi original, which starred Raghav Juyal, Tanya Maniktala, and Lakshya in the lead and was backed by Karan Johar, turned heads for its unflinching violence and high-octane sequences. Dhruv is being seriously considered for the Tamil version as reported by 123telugu website, though an official announcement is yet to be made. If confirmed, this would mark a significant shift in the actor's career — firmly placing him in the action genre after establishing his emotional depth in earlier roles. Dhruv Vikram tells students in Coimbatore the challenges he faced for Adithya Varma Dhruv's career evolution Ever since his debut in 'Adithya Varma', the Tamil remake of 'Arjun Reddy', Dhruv has shown an interest for intense, emotionally-driven characters. His performance alongside his father, Vikram, in 'Mahaan' was widely appreciated and gave fans a glimpse of his range. If he does come on board for Kill, it's likely to be another bold choice — and one that could firmly establish him as a credible action hero in Tamil cinema. The challenge of remaking 'Kill' The original 'Kill' was not your run-of-the-mill action flick. Translating that energy for a Tamil audience will be no small task. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning... Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Click Here Undo But with the right team — and an actor willing to go the distance — the remake could strike gold. Dhruv, if he signs on, would be stepping into a role that demands not just physical stamina, but emotional depth and restraint. About 'Kill' Directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, 'Kill' is surely one of the best action flicks ever made in India. ETimes review for the movie read, "Director Nikhil Nagesh Bhat goes all out in a bid to do justice to the genre. There's not a single dull moment even when things get repetitive. The director uses violence as a language and glorification of violence is evident, but action thrillers thrive on that so that's not the issue. A gore fest for action lovers, you might even find beauty in the bloodshed if that's your thing. Despite witnessing blood spattering, swinging hammers breaking open people's heads and more, the scene that shocks you the most is a romantic one." For fans of the genre, and of Dhruv's evolving filmography, this could be a project worth keeping an eye on.
