While Bollywood celebs and many netizens are all praise for actor Abhishek Bachchan’s performance in the recently released movie ‘The Big Bull’, some tweeps have taken to trolling him and lampooning his acting.
When a Twitter user described his "so-called acting" in The Big Bull as "third rate", Abhishek, the son of legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan, didn’t shy away from reacting and opted to give a befitting reply.
Not letting the criticism affect him, Abhishek thanked the trolls for taking the time to see the film and said, “Hey man, as long as I’ve not disappointed you, I’m happy.” (sic)
Hey man, as long as I’ve not disappointed you, I’m happy. Thank you for taking the time out to see our film. 🙏🏽

Abhishek has also been facing a lot of comparisons with actor Pratik Gandhi, whose web series 'Scam 1992', that was released in October of last year, was based on the same story and was directed by Hansal Mehta.
In an interview with Entertainment website Mid-Day, Abhishek clarified, "All my life, I have been compared to the best in the business. It doesn’t frazzle me. Comparisons are fine and as long as we are compared to good stuff, it’s fine. But in terms of design and intention, episodic series and movies are different disciplines to write for.”
@juniorbachchan don't know when you will learn acting, sir you are the best evidence of nepotism, well enjoy your nepotism life, and please learn some acting from #AnupamKhair he will teach you #TheBigBull waste of time, better watch #Scam1992

#BigBull is one of @juniorbachchan's finest performances of his career! It's up there with his role in Guru. The way he has lived the character, the personality, the command over his dialogues is absolutely brilliant. Kept us glued to our TV screens for those 150 mins! #Hotstar
