Abhishek Bachchan is reportedly suffering a career crisis following the box office performance of his latest films.
According to Outlook, the second-generation star has lost confidence in his abilities as an actor after a series of flop releases.
"He is at the lowest ebb of his career," said trade analyst Amod Mehra.
Bachchan, whose last two projects - Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey and Game - sold few tickets, put his failures down to changing audiences.
"The age of the superstar is over," said the actor. "The audience, even fans, are becoming discerning. They go to see a film, not who is acting in it."
Bachchan explained, however, that appearing in badly-received productions can have its advantages.
Speaking about new release Dum Maaro Dum, the actor stated: "If my previous films had been blockbusters, the pressure would have been even bigger."
In spite of recent failures, the star has received acclaim for his work in projects such as Dostana, Dhoom, Yuva and Bunty Aur Bably.
