Abhishek Bachchan starrer ‘The Big Bull’, which premiered directly on Disney+ Hotstar on April 8, has received a good response from the audience. Movie buffs have lauded Abhishek for giving his heart and soul to the film. The ‘Bunty Aur Babli’ star, who played the role of Hemant Shah, has been appreciated for his performance in the crime drama.
Anand Pandit, who produced the film, lauded Abhishek for delivering a power-packed performance. He said that the 'Dhoom' actor is in a 'league of his own'.
“I am glad that after all the challenges COVID-19 posed, the film has reached the audience. The biggest highlight of the film for me is of course the performance of Abhishek Bachchan. He is a very different actor and in a league of his own. There are a few scenes in the film where his character has shades of Trishul's iconic protagonist Vijay but he played them the way only he can. As when he says, he is in a hurry to reach the top or when he reminds industrialists that by giving him ten minutes, they can earn crores. This similarity was not intentional. But his character was similarly driven, ambitious and unstoppable. Yet, he played it with his trademark half smile, that unmistakable twinkle in the eye. He has revived memories of landmark performances from Hindi cinema, including his own in Guru,” Pandit said in a statement.
The ‘Chehre’ producer expressed his desire to work with Junior Bachchan again. He said that he wanted to cast the ‘Dostana’ actor in a role that is different from he has done in his career.
“I want to cast him in a role that is completely different from anything he has done before. Maybe, as a full-fledged action star in revenge mode. Or maybe in a hyper realism mode that will shock everyone,” the veteran producer said.
Anand revealed that he got chills after seeing Abhishek perform the key scenes especially near the climax.
