Thank you thank you Ribhu sir you have no idea how much my younger self is jumping with joy to be on your set and experience the mania I think we all have been struck by for years now !”
The reference to Eklavya and Dronacharya is a nod to a famous story from the Indian epic, the Mahabharata. Eklavya was a young archer who idolized Dronacharya, the greatest archery teacher of the time. However, Dronacharya refused to teach Eklavya because he was not from a royal family. Undeterred, Eklavya crafted a statue of Dronacharya and practiced his archery in front of it, thus becoming a skilled archer on his own.

Abhishek has always been vocal about his love for Amitabh Bachchan and how he has been inspired by his performances. In an interview, Abhishek had once said, “I have grown up watching Amitabh Bachchan’s films. He is one of the greatest actors in Indian cinema, and it would be an honor to work with him someday.”
