Actor Abhishek Bachchan has revealed his upcoming project, which is set to premiere directly on an OTT platform. The film is named ‘Kaalidhar Laapataa’. Abhishek Bachchan took to his X account to share the poster of this forthcoming film, directed by Madhumita, which will be available for streaming on Zee5.
The release date for the film on the OTT platform is July 4. In the poster, the actor is depicted sitting in a tree with a thick beard. He is dressed in a white checked shirt and pyjamas, with a village backdrop. While posting the poster, Abhishek Bachchan commented, “Sometimes, getting lost isn’t a detour, it’s where the real story begins. Full of dreams, twists, and the people who make it worth it. #KaalidharLaapata premieres 4th July, only on #ZEE5.” ‘Kaalidhar Laapata’ stars Abhishek Bachchan in the lead role, alongside Daivik Bhagela and Zeeshan Ayyub in significant roles.
Prior to the project announcement, the actor shared an enigmatic post on X. The note, resembling a poem, expresses a longing to retreat from everyone to rediscover oneself. The note stated, “Main ekbaar lapaata hona chahta hoon, bheed mein khud ko phir se paana chahta hoon. Jo kuch bhi tha sab de diya apno ke liye, ab zara sa waqt bas apne liye chahta hoon (I want to be lost once, I want to find myself in a crowd. Whatever was mine, I gave away for the sake of my own kin. Now I wish to take out some time for my own self).” Abhishek was last featured in the film ‘Housefull 5’, which starred Riteish Deshmukh and Akshay Kumar in leading roles.
The actor is also set to appear in the film ‘Raja Shivaji’, featuring Riteish Deshmukh and Sanjay Dutt. This film is scheduled to be released in theatres on May 1, 2026, in multiple languages including Marathi, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. Directed by Riteish Deshmukh, the film also includes Genelia Deshmukh, Mahesh Manjrekar, Fardeen Khan, and Bhagyashree.
