Road To 20: 'Drona didn't pan out the way we intended but learnt so much,' says Abhishek Bachchan recalling his films in 2008

Abhishek Bachchan, on June 30 this year, will complete 20 years in Bollywood. Marking this milestone, the actor has been sharing unknown facts and anecdotes through a special series titled Road To 20. Sharing a roadmap of events that took place in his acting career, Abhishek went down the memory lane to cherish the films he did in 2008. With three releases in the year, the actor gushed about working with his father Amitabh Bachchan for the fifth time and his wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the seventh time in Ram Gopal Varma's Sarkar Raj. He recalled Drona with Priyanka Chopra Jonas and said that though it didn't work at the box-office, the team learnt a lot and had fun while making it. Talking about his last film of the year, Dostana, Abhishek said John Abraham and he became a 'jodi' and he is still looking forward to working with the latter again. 

"#RoadTo20 Year-2008 #SarkarRaj #Drona #Dostana The year started with the reunion of the Sarkar team with the addition of the Missus. My 3rd film with #Ramgopalvarma my 5th with @amitabhbachchan and my 7th with @aishwaryaraibachchan_arb Drona was my second collaboration with @goldiebehl and @srishtibehlarya my second also with my mother and @priyankachopra and with @kaykaymenon02 (big fan of his) Drona was a very ambitious project and I still look back and wonder how Goldie and Srishti managed to complete this most challenging shoot. It didn’t pan out the way we intended but we enjoyed making it and learnt so much. The silver lining was the birth of the ABCD’s. Those who know, know the meaning and importance of this. I ended the year with Dostana. My second film with @thejohnabraham and third with @priyankachopra 2nd with my dear friend @boman_irani and @iambobbydeol and my first film with someone who is like family to me and has seen me grow in front of her eyes... @kirronkhermp Directed brilliantly by @tarun_mansukhani with awesome music by @vishaldadlani and @shekharravjiani John and I became quite the Jodi still looking forward to working with him again," Abhishek wrote.
