Abhishek Bachchan
Indian actor and film producer (Born 1976)
Abhishek Amitabh Bachchan (pronounced [əbʰɪʂeːk əmɪˈt̪ɑːbʱ ˈbətːʃən]; born 5 February 1976) is an Indian actor, film producer, and voice artist known for his work in Hindi films. Part of the Bachchan family, he is the son of actors Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. From 2012 to 2016, Bachchan appeared in Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list, based on his income and popularity.
Bachchan began his career with the moderately successful drama film Refugee (2000), which was followed by a dozen unsuccessful ventures. His career prospects changed in 2004 with the action film Dhoom, and he received critical acclaim for his performances in the dramas Yuva (2004), Sarkar (2005), and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006), winning three consecutive Filmfare Awards for Best Supporting Actor. His biggest successes as a sole male lead came with the comedy Bunty Aur Babli (2005) and the drama Guru (2007), both earning him nominations for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor.
Bachchan's other commercially successful films include the ensemble action films Dus (2005), Dhoom 2 (2006) and Dhoom 3 (2013), and the comedies Dostana (2008), Bol Bachchan (2012), Happy New Year (2014) and Housefull 3 (2016). He has since starred in the streaming ventures Breathe: Into the Shadows (2020), Ludo (2020) and Dasvi (2022), with the lattermost earning him the Filmfare OTT Award for Best Actor in a Web Original Film (Male). Bachchan received praise for his performances in the small-scale dramas Ghoomer (2023) and I Want to Talk (2024). The latter earned him his first Filmfare Award for Best Actor.

Why this record matters
The phrase “indian actor and film producer (Born 1976)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q187058. VIAF identifies the subject as 86096374. The Library of Congress control number is no00101086. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1976, 2012, 2016 and 2000.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
