Yes,
you
read
it
right!
In
his
recent
conversation
with
a
media
portal,
actor
Abhishek
Bachchan
admitted
that
had
he
auditioned
for
The
Big
Bull,
which
is
based
on
the
life
of
stockbroker
Harshad
Mehta,
he
would
have
been
easily
rejected
by
the
film's
director
Kookie
Gulati.
He
further
thanked
Ajay
Devgn,
who's
the
producer
of
the
film,
for
offering
him
this
film.
While
speaking
to
The
Quint,
Abhishek
said,
"He
(Ajay)
called
me
and
said,
'I've
heard
the
script,
I'm
going
to
be
producing
it,
and
I'd
like
for
you
to
do
it'.
And
it
was
a
'yes'
right
there.
I
got
lucky
because
he
gave
me
such
a
fantastic
film
to
do,
such
a
great
character
to
play.
So
thankfully,
no
auditioning,
because
I
am
terrible
at
auditioning."
He
further
added,
"I'm
pretty
sure
had
I
auditioned
for
the
film,
Kookie
would
have
replaced
me."
Abhishek
also
said
that
he
finds
the
entire
process
of
audition
unrealistic,
because
when
one
goes
in
to
audition,
he/she
isn't
prepared
at
all,
as
he/she
has
not
done
any
homework.
"You're
not
in
the
mind-
space.
You're
put
in
some
room,
and
there's
a
camera
put
on
you,
you're
given
these
lines
on
the
spot,
and
you're
supposed
to
create
a
character
which
you
had
no
time
to
work
on," added
the
Guru
actor.
In
the
same
interview,
Abhishek
also
asserted
that
even
though
he
finds
the
audition
process
unnatural,
he
has
utmost
respect
for
the
casting
directors.
The
Big
Bull
will
start
streaming
on
Disney+
Hotstar
from
April
8,
2021.
