The debut of his son Abhishek Bachchan and actress Kareena Kapoor Khan was commemorated on the 24th anniversary of the movie “Refugee,” which Amitabh Bachchan recently celebrated. The film ‘Refugee’ debuted on June 30, 2000, bringing these two up-and-coming stars to the fore. Amitabh turned to social media to commend his son’s versatility and commitment to his trade as the movie approached this significant milestone.
Celebrating 24 years of “Refugee,” Amitabh Bachchan reshared a fan-made tweet on his official X (previously Twitter) account. “Love you Bhaiyu… your versatility and your dedication entirely to the character you play… all so different and so completely unique… blessings and more,” the seasoned actor wrote in a letter expressing his appreciation for Abhishek. In honor of the event, Kareena Kapoor Khan also shared a sentimental Instagram post in which she looked back on the previous 24 years of her acting career. “24 years of discovering myself and my characters…,” was the caption she wrote on the photo. The best is not yet upon us. I adore you all.
J.P. Dutta’s romance drama “Refugee” brought Kareena Kapoor multiple accolades for her performance and brought Abhishek Bachchan nominations for best debut. Even though it wasn’t a commercial success, the film helped these two actors—who are now well-known in Bollywood—launch their careers.
Amitabh Bachchan’s tribute to his son appeared on X at the same time as a fan video showcasing Abhishek’s resume. The tweet commended Abhishek’s flexibility in a range of roles, from “Dhoom” to “Manmarziyaan,” and commemorated his journey from “Refugee” to his more recent works like “Ghoomer.” In response, Amitabh expressed his appreciation for his son’s skill and highlighted Abhishek’s distinctiveness and commitment to each role he plays.
Professionally, Amitabh Bachchan has won praise for his performance in Nag Ashwin’s science fiction epic “Kalki 2898 AD.” With a cast that includes Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani, among many others, the movie has done well at the box office since its June 27 release.
Abhishek Bachchan is currently preparing for a part in Shoojit Sircar’s upcoming drama, which has yet to be named and will examine the complexities of a father-daughter relationship. In addition, he has joined the ensemble cast of Tarun Mansukhani’s ‘Housefull 5,’ which is slated for release in 2025 and stars Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh.
The commemoration of ‘Refugee’ reminds us of the journey and development these performers have taken, and Amitabh and Kareena’s poignant words underscore the lasting influence of their first film on both their careers and Bollywood
