Abhishek Bachchan turns 48 - You won't believe how Anil Kapoor wished his ‘Bhaiya’ on birthday!

Today is a very special day for the Bachchan family! Amidst severe backlash for Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan’s supporting and donating property to daughter Shweta Bachchan after her divorce, the Bachchan family is grandly celebrating their son Abhishek Bachchan’s 48th birthday.

Anil Kapoor's unique wish for Abhishek Bachchan

Heartwarming wishes flew in for Abhishek Bachchan's birthday, but none stood out quite like Anil Kapoor's. Defying convention, the senior actor, at 67, playfully addressed the 48-year-old Bachchan as "Bhaiya," a term typically reserved for older brothers. This playful twist added a unique touch to Kapoor's birthday message, further emphasised by the beautiful picture he shared. Twinning in blue suits, the duo exudes companionship and warmth, with Kapoor's radiant smile directed towards Bachchan. It's a moment that captures the essence of their special bond and leaves a lasting impression.

Anil Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan's collaborations

Anil Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan have collaborated on screen only a handful of times. Their filmography together spans just three movies: Om Jai Jagdish (2002), Om Shanti Om (2007), and Halla Bol (2008). In Om Jai Jagdish, the duo portrayed brothers, showcasing their onscreen chemistry. Interestingly, their subsequent collaborations saw them make separate guest appearances in Om Shanti Om and Halla Bol, highlighting their individual talents rather than their togetherness.

Anil kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan's recent films

While Anil Kapoor basks in the glory of Fighter's roaring success, Abhishek Bachchan continues to impress audiences with his recent performances. He delivered critically acclaimed portrayals in Dasvi (2022) and Ghoomer (2023). Speaking of Ghoomer, the sports-drama had its world premiere at the prestigious 12th Indian Film Festival of Melbourne last year and quickly captivated viewers. It currently holds the impressive title of being the 4th most-searched sports drama on Google and is now streaming on ZEE5.
