Taking to his X handle, Amitabh shared a glowing review from director Tinnu Anand, who praised Abhishek’s performance. “T 5433 – When someone of the eminence of dear friend and my Director, Tinnu Anand sends this, it says more than just words… my gratitude,” Amitabh wrote, adding that he felt immense pride for Abhishek’s brilliance in the film.

His path crosses with Ballu, an 8-year-old street-smart boy played by Daivik Bhagela, leading to an unlikely bond.
The film, streaming on Zee5, has been lauded for its emotional depth and standout performances.
Abhishek’s previous appearance was in the blockbuster comedy Housefull 5, alongside Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh.
