SRINAGAR: Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan, who is here for the filmming of director Anurag Kashyap’s “Manmarziya”, says he has a special bond with Kashmir as he often accompanied father Amitabh Bachchan as a child during film shootings.
“It is nostalgic for me because I have come here when my father used to shoot his films here. It is truly a heaven on earth and I am very happy to be back. It is still as beautiful as it used to be,” the actor told reporters here.
Kashmir was once the favourite shooting location for Bollywood films but things changed with the beginning of insurgency in the 1990s. Things have changed with a number of directors such as Kabir Khan, Vishal Bhardwaj, Imtiaz Ali and now Kashyap exploring the location. (AGENCIES)
