As ‘Dhoom’ clocked 15 years, Abhishek Bachchan shared an extended post about how the iconic film “changed it all” for him.

The 2004-released film turned out to be a game changer for junior Bachchan who played a cop in Sanjay Gadhvi’s directorial venture, making him taste success with the action thriller.

Abhishek, who has been an integral member of the franchise, posted a heartfelt note on his Instagram handle with a throwback picture.

The 43-year-old ‘Manmarziyaan’ actor thanked all the people who had faith in him and to the people whom he had built memories with.

“15 years in a heartbeat! A film that changed it all! Especially for me. Will never be able to thank Adi (Aditya Chopra) and @sanjaygadhvi4enough for entrusting Jai Dixit to me. Their faith, belief and support came at a time when I needed it the most in my career,” he said.

“To @thejohnabraham @udayc@imeshadeol Rimi and the rest of the cast. Through the making of the film, we made memories to last us a lifetime and friendships that stand till date. To the amazing crew, especially Alan Amin, @anaitashroffadajania@mayurpuri Nirav and @vaibhavi.merchant for making us look, sound and move so cool. To the audience, for love and acceptance,” he added.

My favourite memory of Dhoom was... Once the first teaser trailer was ready, Yash uncle ( the great Yash Chopra) called my father to see it. He especially organised for him to see it on the big screen as opposed to the edit room. After seeing it and then making the projectionist repeat it several times, when they walked out together, I still remember Yash uncle saying with immense pride लड़कों ने अच्छी पिक्चर बनायी है। the boys have made a good film. Coming from two men we had grown up in front of and whom we idolised it was the greatest stamp of approval ever. Today, when I think about the entire process of making Dhoom, I smile! And THAT is the greatest feeling! #Dhoom #15yrsofDhoom #DhoomMachale
