Abhishek Bachchan: I am in profit; so as a producer, economically speaking, I am very happy

Abhishek Bachchan: I am in profit; so as a producer, economically speaking, I am very happy

Indian cinema's finest premiere comes to an end. People all over the world are doing the monkey dance, such is the hysteria. The Facebook status of various friends read that all who've watched Paa proclaim it to be one of the biggest hits of its time. It's strange, but true that a newly-wed couple postponed their honeymoon for a day to watch Paa. Is Paa becoming a revolution? We asked a few rapid fire questions to the Paa himself, Abhishek Bachchan, on the feedback he's been receiving or has received so far.

"The reactions I have been getting, be it on Facebook or Twitter or via SMS or email have been overwhelming. Overwhelming because I still haven't managed to answer all of them, there have been so many of them! And without trying to sound very pompous, I think 99% of it is all very very positive. The response has been fantastic. I don't think I have ever received response to any of my films the way we have received for Paa," answers Bachchan junior. We recall the day when Big B was all tears after watching Abhishek perform in Guru and so we asked the multi-talented Abhishek, "Did that happen to you while you were watching Amitabh Bachchan as Auro?" Surprisingly, he replied, "Yes," and after a long pause, said, "No too, because every time I got sucked into the film and tried to react to it emotionally, the producer in me would wake up and try and find ways that I could have done certain things better. So for me, it was like balancing -- being an actor and a producer, and a lot of times the producer in me would not allow me to be the actor wholeheartedly. So although I do think it is Pa's best performance till date, I still feel that as a producer I could have performed a lot better."

For the two days after the film was released, all social networking sites were flooded with comments, suggestions and some interesting and thought-provoking reasons to go and watch Paa. One such interesting suggestion read: Don't you feel that a film like Paa should be doing the rounds of the international film festivals and should be screened especially for BAFTA members? To which Abhishek comments, "I think that's being a bit presumptuous; I am more than happy that our Indian audience and the Indian diaspora is watching the film; I think though film festivals and BAFTA are very prestigious, they are things that the international jury will decide. If that is the fate of the film, I am happy. What I am most excited about is that our audience is currently enjoying the film."

Getting Abhishek Bachchan over the phone these days is like making a call to the White House. AB is a busy man and an even busier producer. All the running around has boiled down to many one liners: Paa is a hit! Paa is a super success and Paa is inspirational. One last question to the busy man, "How content is the producer today?" we ask. The answer was filled with content. Abhishek replies, "I am very content, it's been just a few days since the release and my film is already in overflow, which means it has covered its costs, I am in profits. So as a producer, economically speaking, I am very happy!"
