Abhishek Bachchan is currently in Uzbekistan for the Tashkent Film Festival!

With #BeHappy and I Want To Talk earning him critical acclaim, Abhishek Bachchan’s winning streak continues on the world stage. The actor is currently in Uzbekistan for the #TashkentFilmFestival, where his 2023 film Ghoomer is being showcased—marking yet another milestone in his run of back-to-back successes.

His latest release, Be Happy, has once again reaffirmed his stature as an actor with depth, finesse, and an instinct for emotionally resonant storytelling. His portrayal of Shiv—a single father navigating the highs and lows of life with his daughter—has been lauded for its warmth, humor, and heart-wrenching depth.

*Reflecting on his experience, Abhishek shared:* “I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the dynamic between the family in entirety, especially Shiv and Dhara. I loved the fact that Remo wanted to tell a story which was so different from the films that he’s made in the past. I loved the fact that he was wanting to do something emotional and new. I like the fact that it’s in general, a very upbeat film with a serious story, but an upbeat film! I loved the fact that it had hope at the end of it. And I really liked the fact that Remo was also trying to show a father’s contribution to his child’s life. And I liked that aspect of it. I thought it was new and interesting.”

Following the success of Be Happy, Abhishek is now in Uzbekistan as a distinguished guest at the Tashkent Film Festival, organized by the Embassy of India, where Ghoomer—a film that showcased his nuanced performance as a coach mentoring a paraplegic cricketer—has been chosen for screening.

Beyond the festival, Abhishek has been seen embracing the Uzbek culture, engaging with fans, interacting with local media, and participating in cultural programs. His presence at the festival further solidifies his position as an actor whose work transcends borders, resonating with audiences worldwide.

From Yuva and Guru to Ludo, I Want To Talk, and now Be Happy, Abhishek Bachchan has time and again proved that he is an actor who delivers—and with his growing global presence, his cinematic journey is only reaching greater heights.
