As
Abhishek
Bachchan
gears
up
for
the
release
of
his
upcoming
film
The
Big
Bull,
he
clarified
to
a
leading
daily
that
the
filmmaker
has
not
made
any
attempt
to
glorify
the
infamous
stockbroker
Harshad
Mehta
in
the
film.
Abhishek,
who
plays
a
fictionalised
version
of
Harshad
Mehta
named
Hemant
Shah
in
the
film,
said
that
his
character
is
a
flawed
one.
While
speaking
to
Mid-day,
Abhishek
said
that
his
character
is
a
flawed
one
and
added,
"I
don't
know
if
I
agree
entirely
with
the
fact
that
the
moral
responsibility
of
the
subject
is
on
the
writers.
They
are
storytellers
and
they
shouldn't
bother
with
morality.
When
we
-
producers,
actors
and
the
director
steps
in,
that's
when
the
moral
responsibility
steps
in."
He
further
added,
"Do
you
deify
this
man
or
do
you
humanise?
I
was
clear
in
my
initial
discussions
that
if
he
is
aspirational,
he
has
to
be
shown
as
a
flawed
man.
If
everything
about
him
was
to
be
heroic,
he'd
be
uni-dimensional.
He
has
human
frailties
and
I
like
the
fact
that
he
slips."
Abhishek
continued
and
said
that
he
is
well
aware
that
now,
audiences
want
their
heroes
to
be
real
and
flawed.
Speaking
about
his
character
Hemant
in
The
Big
Bull,
he
said
that
he
is
from
a
chawl
and
then
owns
an
apartment
with
a
swimming
pool
in
the
balcony.
"It's
easy
to
take
a
stand
on
this
guy
but
what
makes
him
interesting,
for
me,
is
that
we
show
him
for
who
he
is.
Moral
responsibility
comes
in
when
you
are
making
a
film
for
a
larger
audience
and
the
team
has
made
no
attempt
to
whitewash
him," concluded
the
Guru
actor.
Last
year,
Scam
1992
which
starred
Pratik
Gandhi
in
the
lead
role
and
was
based
on
the
life
of
Harshad
Mehta,
took
the
audiences
by
storm.
When
Abhishek
was
asked
if
he's
worried
about
the
inevitable
comparison,
he
said,
"All
my
life,
I
have
been
compared
to
the
best
in
the
business.
It
doesn't
frazzle
me."
