‘The Big Bull’ starring Abhishek Bachchan in the lead, recently released on Disney + Hotstar.
The movie is based on the life of stockbroker Harshad Mehta, infamous for the 1992 financial scam!
Last year, ‘Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story’ had blown away people with Hansal Mehta’s impeccable direction and Pratik Gandhi’s phenomenal performance. Given that both projects were based on the same subject, Abhishek Bachchan has been on the receiving end of netizens’ constant trolling and comparison, unfortunately.
However, Bachchan has been responding to the scathing criticism with some tongue-in-cheek replies. Take a look:
When a user trashed his acting as ‘3rd rate’ – “As usual @juniorbachchan doesn’t disappoint you with his 3rd rate so called acting in a poorly scripted & badly filmed #TheBigBull. @pratikg80 & #Scam1992 are far superior by miles.”
Abhishek responded with – “Hey man, as long as I’ve not disappointed you, I’m happy. Thank you for taking the time out to see our film.”
Even before the film’s release Twitterati was of the opinion that The Big Bull would ‘never match the bar set by Scam 1992’ team. The user felt only Gujaratis could do justice to the Harshad Mehta story.
To this, Abhishek had a hilarious reply, “Hey, just came across this tweet. I’ve acted in #TheBigBull does it count if I love Gujarati food and my favourite restaurant is @gordhan_thal in Amdavad? Plus my manager is also Gujarati….. please say yes.”
