The entertainment industry is full of talent, and none of them go underutilised. While making a film, the actor believes in giving his best performance every time. There has never been a time when an artist feels like his full potential is yet to be discovered. Talking about artists, many rise to instant fame while some take time to build their stardom over many years of working. On the other hand, there are sections of actors who lost fame over time as well and completely disappeared from the industry. It is hard for anybody to go through a tough time, but the actor whom we are talking about struggled a lot after his popularity in the entertainment business fell drastically.
This actor cleaned toilets and mopped floors, he even became a part-time mechanic to meet his daily needs. This is the same actor who gave back-to-back blockbusters with Kamal Haasan, Tabu, and Rajinikanth. Still couldn't guess which actor we are talking about? The actor in question is none other than Actor Abbas. He now lives a private life somewhere in New Zealand after he went out of business in the film industry.
Actor Abbas was once a popular name in the industry, where he even worked in different industries, including Bollywood and Tollywood. Abbas was a chocolate boy of South Industry, his popularity among the audience was so much that his films used to do great business. Now, actor Abbas has done multiple jobs, including working as a taxi driver, and even cleaning the toilets to meet his daily needs.
You'll be surprised to know Abbas has shared screens with big names like Mammootty, Tabu, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. His journey to the film industry is interesting, the actor was an instant hit after his debut film. He went on to dominate the industry for two decades, and today nobody even recognises him.
Coming from West Bengal, Abbas, during his prime, made a mark in the industry with his versatile performance alongside stalwarts like Kamal Haasan in Hey Ram and Rajinikanth in Paddyappa. He was even a part of blockbuster films like Kandukondain Kandukondain, Anandham, and Minnale, showcasing his immense talent. According to media reports, Abbas filed for bankruptcy, after which he failed to get a job in the industry, forcing him to look for odd jobs outside India.
