For the past few weeks, Abhishek Bachchan has been jetting across the country promoting his new release Dasvi which is to release on the OTT streaming platform Netflix today. Interestingly, Abhishek’s father and veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan has also been rather vocal about his son’s film on social media. In fact, Amitabh Bachchan has been regularly tweeting about Dasvi and had also commended Abhishek’s performance. Reacting to the megastar promoting his son’s film, a section of the social media audience has been questioning him about the same. Finally relenting, the Big B responded to the said trolls with a clapback that has certainly left them speechless.
Taking to the micro blogging site, Twitter, Amitabh Bachchan responded saying, “जी हाँ हुज़ूर, मैं करता हूँ : बधाई, प्रचार, मंगलाचार !!! क्या कर लोगे ~ ?? (Yes sir, I do share congratulations, promotions, invocations!!! What will you do)?” While the mega star’s response certainly left the trolls wide jawed, this isn’t the first time the Big B has showered praise on Abhishek.
A while back, Amitabh had shared an appreciation tweet for Abhishek, stating that the latter was a perfect ‘uttaradhikaari’. In fact, Bachchan had earlier shared a link to the Dasvi trailer along with a quote from his father the poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan, saying “Mere bete, bete hone se tum mere uttradhikari nahi hoge. Jo mere uttradhikari honge, wo mere bete honge – Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Abhishek, tum mere uttradhikari hoge, bus keh diya to keh diya (My son, you will not be my heir just because you are my son. My heir will be my son – Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Abhishek, you will be my heir, I have said it.”
The film, Dasvi, which is helmed by Tushar Jalota, also stars Nimrat Kaur and Yami Gautam. Produced by Dinesh Vijan under his banner Maddock Films, Jio Studios, and Bake My Cake Films, Dasvi releases on Netflix India and Jio Cinema on Thursday.
