‘Are you saying I don't know my job?': JP Dutta slammed Abhishek Bachchan's reaction to his Refugee performance, actor gave 17 retakes in front of 10,000 people
If the adage 'hard work pays off' ever needed a poster boy, Bollywood acting legends Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan's son Abhishek Bachchan would be a strong contender. From a series of substandard performances in early films such as Tera Jadoo Chal Gayaa, Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai, Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya and Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon, and a breakthrough success with Dhoom, to back-to-back notable roles in Bunty Aur Babli, Sarkar, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and Guru, and now owning a name for himself through performances in films like Manmarziyaan, Ludo, Bob Biswas, Dasvi and I Want to Talk, Abhishek Bachchan has come a long way. Despite being the son of two of Bollywood's most distinguished and accomplished actors, Abhishek initially showed little to no potential or promise. Nor did he have any unrealistic assumptions about himself. He has also never shied away from admitting his weaknesses and where he faltered. Although he feels that his performance in his debut film, the romantic drama Refugee (2000), was not up to the mark, not everyone agrees with his opinion; and one of the people who strongly disagrees is the film's director JP Dutta. Abhishek recently revealed that when he shared his thoughts with Dutta once, the filmmaker gave him an earful. Also Read | 'Is this why I worked so hard, spent on your education?': Amitabh Bachchan couldn't hide his disappointment in son Abhishek 'I told him, 'JP saab, I feel bad. I feel I wasn't ready enough for you. I could have done so much better, and you gave me such a responsibility. His response was typical JP Duta, 'So you're saying I don't know my job?' I wondered why he would think that? He said, 'I okayed the take, right?' So I was like, actually, he's got a point. The director okayed the take; it's their decision. He always puts me back into my place when I'm flying a bit too high,' Abhishek Bachchan recalled during a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India. He added, 'I wish I had the armoury that I have today back then. But I also realise that a large part of the reason why I'm that equipped today is because I've spent 25 years doing what I do.' Also starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Jackie Shroff, Suniel Shetty, Sudesh Berry and Anupam Kher in key roles, Refugee was an average grosser at the box office. ICYMI | Mumtaz opens up on Fardeen Khan's divorce with daughter Natasha Madhwani: 'They have separated, every marriage has its ups and downs' During the chat, Abhishek also recalled giving 17 retakes for a shot in Refugee. Mentioning that he had already convinced himself he was the 'Marlon Brando of passing shots', he said his overconfidence soon landed him in trouble. 'When JP Dutta's father, OP Dutta, who penned the dialogues for the film, came for the narration before one day's shoot, I thought all I had to do was respond 'Name? Refugee' to Kulbhushan Kharbanda's question of 'What's your name?' So I paid no heed and continued fooling around with Bebo (Kareena). The shooting happened in a village. After delivering this line, I looked around, but JP hadn't said 'cut'. I thought he was expecting some more action, so I started filling water in a bowl. But he didn't even okay the next take. There were 5,000–10,000 people watching the set. They had all come after hearing that Amitabh Bachchan's son was acting for the first time.' Besides the crowd, his parents' friend Reena Roy and his acting coach Anupam Kher were also on set, which scared Abhishek even more. After each take, he said, JP Dutta kept stepping closer to him, sending chills down his spine. Once the fear set in, Abhishek began fumbling more and even broke several clay water bowls. 'Every time he screamed 'cut', I was sure I was about to get a smack from him. But it didn't happen.' By then, the fear of thousands of people judging him had also set in, pushing Abhishek to the verge of tears. 'After the 16th take, JP saab came up to me and asked what was wrong. I told him that having so many people watching was bothering me. He removed everyone from the set. Then he told me that no matter how long it took, he would extract the performance he needed from me. That was also when I realised JP hadn't cut the shot because 'Name? Refugee' wasn't the only dialogue I was supposed to say. I actually had almost two pages of dialogues, which I had paid no heed to when OP Dutta came for the narration,' he added.

Kareena Kapoor Khan celebrates 25 years of her debut film 'Refugee'
Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor Khan took a nostalgic trip down memory lane as she marked 25 years since her debut in the film industry with Refugee. The romantic drama, directed by J.P. Dutta, also marked the debut of Abhishek Bachchan and was released on June 30, 2000. To celebrate the milestone, Kareena shared a series of throwback photos from the film featuring her and Bachchan on her Instagram handle on Monday.

The film centres around Bachchan's character, a nameless Indian Muslim who helps illegal refugees cross the border between India and Pakistan in the Great Rann of Kutch. He eventually falls in love with a refugee's daughter, played by Khan. Refugee also starred Jackie Shroff, Suniel Shetty, and Anupam Kher in key roles. Following Refugee, Kareena and Abhishek went on to work together in Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon (2003), LOC: Kargil (2003), and Yuva (2004).

Not Jab We Met's Geet or K3G's Poo: 5 roles that quietly cemented ‘star' Kareena Kapoor Khan's legacy as an actor
'I don't want to do stardom anymore,' Kareena Kapoor Khan said ahead of the release of Jaane Jaan. Lately, she has consciously sought roles that move away from her star persona and add richness to her filmography. She has been a bona fide star ever since she stepped into the industry 25 years ago. Over the years, she has made shrewd career choices, signed the right films, collaborated with top filmmakers, and maintained a balanced public image. She's one of the rare actors who has seamlessly fit into the worlds of all the major male superstars — be it Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, or Ajay Devgn. At the same time, she's shaped her image across generations — from being the size-zero phenomenon to a feminist icon who walked the ramp while pregnant. There's no denying that Kareena's early performances weren't her best and came off as exaggerated (to say the least). Films like Khushi, Mujhse Dosti Karoge, Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon, and Yaadein became meme goldmines for their cringe-worthy performances. And dare I say, even the iconic Poo from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham falls into that category. Following the massive success of Jab We Met, Kareena became synonymous with the loud, chirpy, self-assured girl — a persona that quickly became a cultural phenomenon. Even Chameli, often cited as her first offbeat performance, didn't quite capture the full range of what she was capable of. And yet, it was always hard to ignore her. In recent years, she has become more intentional about the projects she takes up, but her journey of breaking free from the confines of mainstream stardom began long ago. Kareena has been quietly building a filmography that confirms longevity in film industry rather than seeking fleeting acclaim. As she completes 25 years in the film industry, here's a list of her 5 most underrates performances. Vishal Bhardwaj's Omkara may have centred around Ajay Devgn's brooding Omkara Shukla, but it was Kareena Kapoor Khan's Dolly Mishra who quietly breathed life into the story. The innocence she brought to the soft-spoken yet quietly courageous Dolly left audiences deeply moved. Through Dolly's wide-eyed vulnerability, viewers were exposed to the harsh realities faced by women in traditional Indian society — where even after leaving behind their homes and identities post-marriage, they are still made to prove their fidelity and worth. Standing out in a solo film is one thing, but consistently delivering iconic performances in multi-starrers is another — especially when you're sharing the screen with someone like Alia Bhatt in a career-defining role. In Udta Punjab, Kareena once again proved that screen time isn't what defines a great performance. Playing a compassionate doctor who risks her life to combat Punjab's drug crisis, Kareena brought both strength and conviction to the role. Sporting a no-makeup look, she delivered some of the film's most powerful dialogues. While Kareena's performance in Chameli earned her widespread acclaim, her role in Govind Nihalani's Dev, released the same year, went largely overlooked. In the film, she played a distressed young Muslim woman caught in the crossfire of Hindu-Muslim tensions and toxic male egos. Though the narrative primarily focused on the conflict between Amitabh Bachchan and Om Puri's characters, Kareena brought quiet strength and emotional depth to her part and also serving as the moral compass that moves Fardeen Khan's character away from radicalisation. Unlike her often over-the-top performances in earlier films, her performance in Dev stood out for its subtlety. Reema Kagti's crime thriller Talaash left audiences divided. While some appreciated its storytelling, others were put off by its supernatural twist. Yet, amid the differing opinions, one thing most agreed on was Kareena Kapoor Khan's compelling performance. As Rosie, she seamlessly blended glamour with vulnerability. One of the film's most haunting moments is the night-time scene where she sits with Aamir Khan and reflects on her life as a sex worker: 'We don't exist in the eyes of the law — and if we don't exist, how can we disappear?' It's so well-balanced that it captures her pain but barely gives a hint of the climax. Sujoy Ghosh's Jaane Jaan stands out as Kareena Kapoor Khan's finest performance in recent years. She plays a single mother haunted by a dark past and an abusive ex-husband — and when that past comes knocking, she doesn't hesitate to fight back, even if it means killing to survive. What follows is a layered portrayal that sees Kareena in multiple shades: singing under disco lights while flirting with Vijay Varma's character, cautiously showing warmth to Jaideep Ahlawat's reclusive genius, and transforming into a fierce, protective mother when danger looms. It's a performance that keeps you hooked till the very end.
