Abhishek Bachchan, known for his involvement in kabaddi and football leagues, has never invested in the Indian Premier League (IPL). In a recent interview with Forbes, he revealed that the IPL was initially too expensive for him as a budding actor. He also questioned what he could bring to the table in terms of infrastructure, as the BCCI already does a commendable job. Bachchan expressed his preference for being actively involved in sports, citing his hands-on approach with teams like the Jaipur Pink Panthers and Chennaiyin FC.
On the film front, Bachchan was last seen in Kaalidhar Laapata and is set to star in Siddharth Anand’s King alongside Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and others. He also has Raja Shivaji, a historical action drama directed by Riteish Deshmukh, in the pipeline. The film is based on the life of Shivaji Maharaj and features an ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt and Mahesh Manjrekar. Both films are scheduled for release later this year. Despite his success in sports ownership, Bachchan continues to expand his acting portfolio with diverse projects.
