Abhishek Bachchan Reacts to Being Called the Batman of Bollywood

Abhishek Bachchan, a prominent Bollywood actor with a career spanning over 20 years, has garnered a massive fan following worldwide. Recently, he opened up about feeling “very embarrassed” after Apoorva Lakhia, a filmmaker, referred to him as the Batman of Bollywood.

Abhishek and Apoorva had previously collaborated on the film “Mumbai Se Aya Mera Dost” in 2003. Following the headlines generated by Apoorva’s statement, Abhishek shared his sentiments about the title.

A Close Bond with Apoorva Lakhia

During an interaction with ETimes, Abhishek Bachchan expressed his embarrassment over being called the Batman of Bollywood. He revealed that Apoorva, whom he affectionately calls “Apu,” is like family to him. Since their first meeting during the pitch of “Mumbai Se Aya Mera Dost,” Apoorva has become an integral part of Abhishek’s life for over two decades.

According to Abhishek, Apoorva is not just a close collaborator but also an elder brother figure to him. He has been present for every significant moment in Abhishek’s life, including his wedding, the birth of his daughter, and other milestones. Apoorva is considered family not only in the professional realm but also within Abhishek’s personal life. Abhishek speculates that Apoorva’s deep emotional connection with him might have influenced the statement.

The Reasoning Behind the Batman Title

For those unfamiliar with the context, during an interaction with Sidharth Kannan last month, Apoorva Lakhia declared that Abhishek Bachchan is a unique individual in the film industry. Apoorva went beyond acknowledging Abhishek as Amitabh Bachchan’s son and Aishwarya Rai’s husband and compared him to Batman when discussing the superhero personas of Bollywood stars. Apoorva believes that Abhishek stands out because he embodies relatability and humanity, akin to the character of Bruce Wayne. Despite coming from an affluent background, Abhishek remains down-to-earth and genuinely strives to help others. Apoorva considers Abhishek Bachchan a superhero in the truest sense—a relatable and compassionate human being.
