When asked about his favourite genre he likes doing, the actor said that depends on his mood. He revealed that there was a time where he was happy doing comedy film back to back, then he switched to action, and character-driven roles. Abhishek added that now with the arrival of digital platforms, one has more choices and can keep switching their role with each project.
Talking about favouritism and Sushant’s passing, Abhishek said that the decision-maker needs to be questioned. And revealed that the decision-maker is the audience. He said the audience decides who they want to see and a director or an actor gets a second chance depending on that reaction.
