Today, we will discuss one such star, who belongs to a rich family in the industry. His father is the superstar of Bollywood. However, this actor's journey in Bollywood had highs and lows. If you are wondering who we are talking about, then he is none other than Abhishek Bachchan. Abhishek started his career in 2000 with the film Refugee. Though the movie did not do well at the box office, it did bring attention to Abhishek's performance. Over the next few years, Abhishek featured in numerous movies. Later in 2004, Abhishek's breakthrough came with the film Yuva. His character of Lallan Singh was praised by critics as well as the audience. How Does Abhishek Bachchan Earn Rs 29 Lakhs Per Month?

Abhishek Bachchan Reveals Directors Refused To Launch Him Due To Big B's Legacy: 'Felt Disheartened'
Abhishek Bachchan shares how several directors refused to launch him due to his father's legacy, calling the early rejections 'disheartening but understandable.' While many might assume that being the son of Bollywood legends Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan would have guaranteed an easy entry into films, Abhishek Bachchan recently opened up about how that perception couldn't have been further from the truth. In an interview with Nayandeep Rakshit, the actor candidly shared that his road to debut was riddled with rejections—not because he lacked talent or passion, but because people were too intimidated by his last name. 'When you're 21 years old and filled with exuberance and zest, and you know the chatter that you keep hearing around you, 'He's gonna become an actor.' Oh, it's a big deal. Somewhere you get caught up in that," he said, describing his mindset during his early twenties when he was preparing to make his debut. But his enthusiasm quickly met a reality check. 'When you go into a meeting—and not one but several—to say, 'Thanks, but no thanks,' and very politely. None of them were rude," Abhishek revealed. According to the actor, the refusals weren't rooted in disrespect, but rather a shared fear among directors about the expectations that would come with launching Amitabh Bachchan's son. 'I didn't understand then but I understood when I signed Refugee," he said. 'They were like, 'We don't want the responsibility of launching Amitabh Bachchan's son.' I didn't get that, but when I started working and I started seeing firsthand what my father meant to the film industry — fellow actors, directors — I said, you know, I get it." 'He's such an immense figure that people have so much love and respect for, and I think that's amazing," he added. 'I can understand why people said, 'Don't put that on us.'" Eventually, it was director JP Dutta who stepped in and offered Abhishek his first film, Refugee (2000), which also introduced Kareena Kapoor Khan to Bollywood. Reflecting on that time, Abhishek shared how those initial setbacks impacted him emotionally. 'I get it, but when you are so young and are like 'I'm ready, but no, really? Okay.' You feel bad, you're young, you know, you haven't seen as much of the world. You're not as wise. So you feel bad." He acknowledged that while his struggles were real, many others had it even harder. 'It's very disheartening, as any actor will tell you—not just me. I am the least qualified compared to the heartbreak many actors would have seen," he admitted. Now a seasoned actor with critically acclaimed performances in films like Guru, Yuva, Sarkar, Dasvi, and Manmarziyaan, Abhishek Bachchan has carved his own identity in the industry. He is currently busy promoting his upcoming film Kaalidhar Laapata. First Published: July 06, 2025, 21:02 IST

Is Sitaare Zameen Par a hit or flop? As Aamir Khan film crosses ₹200 crore, we decode its box office performance
Aamir Khan seems to have slayed the demons haunting his films at the box office. Over the last seven years, the actor has been seen in only two films - Thugs of Hindostan and Laal Singh Chaddha. Both were monumental box office failures. That is why his most recent release, Sitaare Zameen Par, was crucial for the superstar's future. Now that the film has crossed ₹200 crore worldwide, people are calling it a success. We decode if it really is so. Sitaare Zameen Par box office performance decoded: Is the Aamir Khan film a hit or a flop? Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection The RS Prasanna directorial has earned ₹137.80 crore net ( ₹164.80 crore gross) in India in 15 days since it released in theatres. Add to it over $6 million gross from overseas, and Sitaare Zameen Par's worldwide gross stands at an impressive ₹217.50 crore. This makes it the fourth-highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025, behind only Chhaava, Housefull 5, and Raid 2. It is almost certain to enter the top 3 by the end of its run, and if the word of mouth sustains, it might just pip Housefull 5 to take the second spot, too. Interestingly, Sitaare Zameen Par has already surpassed the lifetime India collections of Laal Singh Chaddha and Ghajini and will surpass Thugs of Hindostan this Sunday (July 6). Then, only four Aamir films remain in front of it - Dangal, PK, Dhoom 3, and 3 Idiots. Is Sitaare Zameen Par a hit? But does just being in the company of Aamir's biggest hits mean that Sitaare Zameen Par is a hit itself? After all, Adipurush earned over ₹300 crore worldwide and yet was a massive flop. Fortunately, for Sitaare Zameen Par, that is not the case. The film, produced by Aamir Khan Productions, has a production budget of just ₹90 crore. According to trade sources, after adding the marketing and publicity budget, the film's landing cost is under ₹150 crore. It has already earned more than that through its domestic collections alone. Sitaare is still going strong, earning an estimated ₹7 crore worldwide on Saturday, the 16th day of its release. It showed a jump of over 140% on its third Saturday. These strong legs imply that the film won't die down for two more weeks, at least. Sitaare Zameen Par is already a hit, but it can just about be a superhit or even a blockbuster if it continues its run. Will the absent streaming rights hurt Aamir Khan? Sitaare Zameen Par is notable for being the only major Indian film in recent years to not sell its streaming rights for several crores. Aamir Khan made it clear that he does not intend to release the film on OTT, ever. So, the film has recovered some amount from music rights and satellite rights, but a big chunk of pre-release revenue is missing in the form of streaming rights. However, trade pundits argue that it may have worked in Aamir's favour. Aamir Khan was felicitated by exhibitors for Sitaare Zameen Par's success. Sitaare Zameen Par has shown jumps of 90-140% on each of the three Saturdays it has spent in the theatres. Clearly, the audience wants to see the film in theatres, partly because of the good reviews, and partly because they know it won't be on OTT once it leaves the theatres. That exclusivity has certainly bumped up the film's collections by a few crores, hopefully offsetting whatever Aamir stood to gain had he sold the rights. But clearly, for Aamir, the non-release of Sitaare Zameen Par is not about money. It is about allowing the film a clean, distraction-free theatrical run. In that, he is succeeding. The glee of the exhibitors, who recently felicitated him as 'box office ka baap' is proof enough.
