"The pride of a Father .. THE BIG BULL .. biggest opening of the year for Disney Hotstar .. and the accolades keep coming in for all the incredible work he does .. my son .. my friend now .. because he wears my shoes, as I had said in an earlier missive - ‘when the Son starts wearing your shoes he is no longer your son he be your friend ‘ .. well done buddy."

Expressing how overwhelmed he was as Abhishek Bachchan's hard work had paid off, Amitabh Bachchan had continued:
"And don’t go by the 19.5 K views number .. that was within minutes of it going up .. the numbers on it last night were in the millions .. 6 million and rising .. i mean the purists said it was huge .. mostly it goes into a million or so for other counters but this one has gone .. yaa .. to the roof of the Stock Exchange .. keeping the ref., of the film story in mind!! And overwhelmed with the paying off of the hard work of Abhishek, it is difficult to comment any more."
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Abhishek Bachchan had reacted to the constant comparisons with his father, Amitabh Bachchan, that he had faced in his entire career. Abhishek was quoted as saying:
"You've compared me to the great Amitabh Bachchan; I find him to be the best. So who else are you going to compare me to that's going to frazzle me? I'm used to being compared to him, so I'm not frazzled. It's flattering to me. Being an actor, and being a part of the film industry for 20-odd years, I know how challenging it is to get due recognition... You're flattering me by comparing me to him. I take it as a compliment."
On the work front, Abhishek Bachchan will be next seen in the film, Bob Biswas.
