Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap remarked about his experience working with Abhishek Bachchan, saying that the actor has evolved dramatically in the years since his debut. Anurag collaborated with Abhishek as a dialogue writer in Mani Ratnam's film Yuva, and then directed Abhishek in Manmarziyaan, and had noticed a massive change in him.

Anurag recalled anecdotes of working with Amitabh Bachchan in an interview with The Lallantop, which prompted him to discuss Abhishek. Amitabh, he claimed, was always open to constructive criticism and a man of his word.

In an interview with The Lallantop, Anurag Kashyap stated, “We (Abhishek and Anurag) worked together on Yuva. I wrote the dialogues for that film. My brother was also an AD on it, and we worked quite a bit with Abhishek on the dubbing of that film as well... He’s a very hard-working person. He’s cultured, loves food. But he was very brattish in the beginning. He’d make fun of everything, not take things seriously. But people grow, and he grew. That Abhishek and the Abhishek I worked with on Manmarziyaan are two entirely different people.”

Speaking of Amitabh, Anurag highlighted the actor's reaction to being requested to tone down the Amitabh Bachchan-ness of his portrayal in Yudh. He said, “He takes criticism well. I noticed that he was delivering a typical Amitabh Bachchan-style performance, and I wanted something more real, and this is what I told him.”

On the professional front, Abhishek Bachchan has appeared in many streaming projects, including Breathe: Into the Shadows, Ludo, Bob Biswas, The Big Bull, and Dasvi.

On the other hand, Anurag's latest film, Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat, hit theatres last week. The musical romantic drama written and directed by Anurag features Alaya F alongside debutant Karan Mehta.
