JP Dutta Abhishek Bachchan

Abhishek Bachchan started his career with JP Dutta’s ‘Refugee’. He then collaborated with the director in films like ‘LOC’ and ‘Umrao Jaan’. And now, Abhishek and Dutta are all set to team up for the fourth time with the film ‘Paltan’.

Recently, while talking to a leading daily, Dutta said, “We casually chatted about the project [at the reunion bash] and he immediately agreed to be part of it. He is a wonderful actor, who always aims to do something different. From ‘Yuva’ (2004) to ‘Guru’ (2007) and ‘Dostana’ (2008), he has done a fine job and can pull off any role. I am really happy to have him in my team.”
