As reported in a report published in a leading daily: “Amitji is very keen to see Agastya become the third-generation actor in the Bachchan parivar. But Agastya shows a natural tendency for direction. In fact, he has just completed a short film which has turned out really well”. Agastya not only wrote the script and directed his film, he also composed the background music for it. When Amitji and Jayaji saw the film they were bowled over. They now feel Agastya could be the first filmmaker in the family. Although if truth be told, Jayaji has been prodding her son Abhishek to move into the direction for the longest time.”
