Actor Abhishek Bachchan's last few movies before his sabbatical that ended with Manmarziyaan were majorly second leads in big budget movies. He says it's heartbreaking for any actor who has been at centre stage to move away. Asked how much of a problem it is to stand behind a bigger star, he told filmmaker and Koffee With Karan host Karan Johar: "It is heartbreaking to any actor who has been centre stage to be shadowed by another actor in the lead."

"The industry is a brutal place. I don't think anyone is entitled to say that I am who I am so I deserve this. No, you have to earn it. Moving from centre to left is heartbreaking but you have to use that hurt to inspire yourself to get back into the centre again."
