Agreed 100%!
To think this guy coudl have taken the "easy" route and let his family launch him with some mindless masala flick and continue down that path... instead he took on some interesting roles and is now the face of the Indian new-wave! Smart guy.
Not to take away any credit from Abhay for the choice of films he has done, but he was launched by his family. His first movie, 'Socha Na Tha' was produced by Dharmendra under his production banner 'Vijeta/Vijayta Films. The same production company that launched Sunny Deol & Bobby Deol.
That is not to say that 'Socha Na Tha' is "another mindless masala flick", infact it is a relatively unknown gem, directed by first time director Imtiaz Ali of 'Jab We Met' & 'Love Aaj Kal' fame.. Personally I would pay good money for a nicely produced BD of 'Socha Na Tha'. Uff.. when will the Indian video industry learn to market itself?
