The Big Bull, Abhishek Bachchan should be thrilled as his legendary father Big B wrote in his blog that as a father he is happy with his son’s progress report in the film industry.
The 78-year-old actor praised his son’s performance in the Kookie Gulati directorial on social media. Big B wrote a long note on his blog. “For a Father, it is ever a moment of great pride to see their ‘progress report’ prosper and do well .. I am no different from any other Father .. the mention of such always brings emotion and tears .. particularly when there is an exhibition of immense value ..,” wrote Big B. He also mentioned “that Big Bull had been seen privately within the confines of the home much earlier” but “the excitement of watching it when the entire world shall be seeing it at the same time, was different ..”
Big B says The Big Bull is super exciting performance by Abhishek
He also tweeted, “T 3868 -‘apintment’ बरकरार , रहा धुआंदार तीन बार देख चुके , आज रात चौथी बार Bhaiyu.”
Abhishek Bachchan’s film The Big Bull is based on the financial scam of 1992 involving stockbroker Harshad Mehta, chronicles his rise in the stock market and his eventual fall.
“To fail on a public platform is very difficult. There was no social media back then, but I read via media that some were abusing me while some said that I do not know acting.”
Abhishek added, “At one point in time, I felt it was my mistake that I came into the industry as whatsoever I was trying, it was not working. I went to my dad and said maybe I am not made for this industry.”
Amitabh Bachchan then told son Abhishek, “I never brought you up to be quitter. Every morning you have to wake up and fight for your place under the sun. As an actor, you are improving with every film.”
Abhishek shared that senior Bachchan asked him to take every role, big or small, significant or insignificant. “Just work and trust me you will be fine,” Amitabh told Abhishek at that time.
