Throwback to Mani Ratnam’s Guru: Amitabh Bachchan was the happiest father in the world

The only occasion I’ve seen Amitabh Bachchan raving over his son Abhishek Bachchan’s performance was after Mani Ratnam’s Guru. The film completes 16 years today and that's the perfect reason to look back at senior Bachchan’s appraisal of the movie and his son's performance.

Said Mr Bachchan previously, "My father wrote in his biography, 'When a father loses to his son, it is his greatest victory’. I've lost to my son and I'm the happiest father alive. Abhishek is phenomenal in Guru. I have held myself back on many an occasion from commenting on my son's work, but this time I shall not. To hell with niceties and restraint. Abhishek is incredible!”
