Abhishek Bachchan has been in the news lately for his latest film release, ‘Big Bull‘ on Disney+Hotstar. The movie is based on the life of stockbroker Harshad Mehta.
Recently, in an interview, Abhishek spoke about how Amitabh Bachchan has supported him and guided him when he wanted to leave Bollywood.
Abhishek said he spoke to Amitabh that he believed he was not made for the industry after a string of flops. Abhishek Bachchan made his debut in 2000, with war film Refugee, and it was the fifth-highest grosser of the year. However, he gave a lot of flops after that.
Abhishek, in an interview with RJ Siddharth Kannan, said, “To fail on a public platform is very difficult. There were no social media back then, but I read via media that some were abusing me while some said that I do not know acting.”
He 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,” says Amitabh Bachchan to his son.
Amitabh Bachchan praised Abhishek Bachchan’s performance in the Kookie Gulati directorial on social media. He 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 ..”
He also went on to say “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 ..”
He also tweeted, “T 3868 -‘apintment’ बरकरार , रहा धुआंदार तीन बार देख चुके , आज रात चौथी बार Bhaiyu.”
