Abhishek Bachchan is keeping us updated about his
Manmarziyan diaries on Instagram. The 42-year-old actor appeared to have recently wrapped a shooting schedule of
Manmarziyan and posted a lengthy note about his experience with the film's team. Directed by Anurag Kashyap,
Manmarziyan also stars Vicky Kaushal and Taapsee Pannu, all of who were busy shooting in Amritsar and then in Sonmarg. Meanwhile, this is what Abhishek Bachchan Instagrammed: "Making a movie is a journey. The best thing about films is the journey will always live on forever. As this part of the journey of
Manmarziyan comes to an end, Thank you Anurag Kashyap for entrusting me with Robbie."
As Abhishek thanked the director, his post revealed that his character is named Robbie in the movie: "I hope I can repay your trust, belief and faith in me. I hope I make you proud. And as and when you look back on this journey, my victory would be if you smile."
Abhishek also has a message for co-stars Taapsee and Vicky: "To my beautiful co-actors, Thank you! Especially the two mad hatters Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal. Stay real, stay mad and mostly, stay Punjab!" For screenwriter Kanika Dhillon, he added: "You wrote it, we acted it. Let's hope our audience lives it! Thank you for your constant encouragement. I can't even begin to tell you how much it helped."
