Actor
Abhishek
Bachchan
is
one
actor,
who
has
always
been
compared
to
his
megastar-father
Amitabh
Bachchan,
and
sadly,
no
matter
how
hard
he
tries,
he
can
never
surpass
his
dad.
It's
not
that
Abhishek
is
willing
to
do
it
either,
but
the
ongoing
debate
on
nepotism
gave
trollers
a
chance
to
take
a
jibe
at
him
on
social
media.
In
his
recent
tete-a-tete
with
a
media
agency,
when
Abhishek
debunked
the
existence
of
nepotism
in
his
career
and
said,
"The
fact
is
he
(Amitabh
Bachchan)
has
never
picked
up
the
phone
on
anyone.
He
has
never
made
a
film
for
me.
On
the
contrary,
I
have
produced
a
film
for
him,
called
Paa," Abhishek
said
on
the
subject
of
nepotism."
Just
like
many
actors,
even
Abhishek
believes
that
any
star
kid
can't
become
successful
in
his
career
just
because
of
his
family
connection,
as
after
his/her
debut,
he/she
has
to
prove
himself/herself
to
the
audience.
"People
have
to
understand
that
it's
a
business.
After
the
first
film,
if
they
don't
see
anything
in
you,
or
that
film
doesn't
do
the
numbers,
you
aren't
going
to
get
your
next
job.
That's
the
harsh
reality
of
life,"
added
the
Guru
actor.
Abhishek
also
recalled
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
piece
of
advice
to
him,
which
he
gave
even
before
the
former's
debut.
Abhishek
said,
"Shah
Rukh
told
me
before
I
became
an
actor:
'Always
remember,
your
favourite
role
should
be
the
one
you
are
doing
at
that
point,
because
if
it's
not,
why
are
you
doing
it'."
With
respect
to
work,
Abhishek
is
currently
gearing
up
for
Ludo.
The
film
is
all
set
to
release
on
Netflix
on
November
12.
Directed
by
Anurag
Basu,
the
film
also
casts
Aditya
Roy
Kapur,
Rajkummar
Rao,
Sanya
Malhotra,
Fatima
Sana
Shaikh,
and
Pankaj
Tripathi
in
the
lead
roles.
