Abhishek as "Lallan" in Yuva was outstanding

Yuva (English: Youth), originally titled Howrah Bridge was a feature film directed by Indian director Mani Ratnam and released in 2004. Simultaneously made in Hindi (as Yuva) and Tamil (as Ayutha Ezhuthu), the prime objective of the movie was to motivate educated Indian youths to enter politics.

The film tells the stories of three young men from completely different strata of society and one fateful incident on Kolkata's Hooghly Bridge which changes their lives forever. The film is set in the city of Chennai in the Tamil version.Originally Hrithik Roshan and Simran Bagga were offered the roles played by Abhishek Bachchan and Esha Deol.

He loves, marries, and abuses his wife, Sashi Biswas (Rani Mukerji).Micheal Mukherjee (Ajay Devgan) is a student leader, who wants politicians like Prosonjeet Bhattacharya (Om Puri), to keep away from college elections; He loves Radhika (Esha Deol).And then there is Arjun (Vivek Oberoi), carefree and spoiled, in love with Mira (Kareena Kapoor), who he just met, and who at one time wanted to relocate to the U.S., but then after meeting Michael,changes his mind and wants to be a politician.

The paths of these three young men cross each others', resulting in drastic changes in their lives.In the end of the movie it picturises that Lallan is in prison and shall be facing capital punishment and Michael and Arjun are elected in the elections and they get a seat. Sashi leaves town to another city,unaware of what has happened to her husband, but suspecting he has ditched her.Abhishek was full of enthusiasm for the film where for the first time he worked with "genius" Mani Ratnam . He recalls it as a very special film and his character in it - Lallan Singh the most "special character he has ever played".

Abhishek's solo hero act in film titled Run in the same year brought him no credit and was a verve at the box-office. But so-called another league film Yuva brought him hell lot of critical applaud.The movie had flaws unlike Mani's other flicks Roja and Bombay, but indeed had a soul.
