Actor Abhishek Bachchan: 'Filmmaking as an Enterprise Has Become More Efficient and Professional'

If Bollywood superstars are like royalty, actor Abhishek Bachchan is a crown prince. The son of Amitabh Bachchan, who ruled over Bollywood filmdom since the 1970s, and actress Jaya Bachchan, the younger Bachchan came into his own with the massively popular Dhoom in 2004. Since then, Bachchan has seen his movie career take off, with recent hits such as Dostana, which grossed Rs. 90 crores (US$19 million). While Bachchan and his superstar wife Aishwarya Rai are often in the media spotlight, what is less known is his involvement in AB Corp, his father's film production company. During the Wharton India Economic Forum in Philadelphia, Bachchan discussed his views about the business of filmmaking in an interview with India Knowledge@Wharton.

This is wonderful...I am impressed with the way he answered all the questions..all from an actor's and a businessman's perspective. I really like the way every industry in India is now thinking in business or an enterprise's terms....where the customer is most important....thanks for sharing this!!!!

Abhishek comes across quite intelligent. Just like his father....

Why is this idiot here!? Knowledge At Wharton needs people with knowledge .. not a copy cat of his father and using his last name to get business (more like forcing the industry to give him business)

Bringing his family to Wharton is like bringing a Monkey to Council of Foreign Relations in Washington...

Go back and get more accent training
