Big B is proud of Abhishek Bachchan's performance in 'Bob Biswas', posts a special message

Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan is speechless after megastar Amitabh Bachchan found a special way to praise him.

On Wednesday night, the 'Piku' star promoted his actor-son's upcoming movie 'Bob Biswas' on social media.

In his tweet, the 79-year-old actor mentioned a few lines from his late father and legendary poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan's Hindi couplet, which read, "My sons will not become my inheritors just because we share the same surname. They will be called my sons because they will justify their legacy."


The proud Big B also shared a two-minute-45-second-long video, reciting a poem from Bachchan Jr's new film. "My pride, my son, my inheritor," his caption read.

The 45-year-old actor said that Bachchan's gesture meant the world to him. While his reply on Instagram was 'speechless', on Twitter, he said that this is all the praise that he needs.


On the micro-blogging site, he also wrote a few lines from his grandfather's poem 'Agneepath'. "You will never get tired, you will never stop, you will never turn - take an oath."

After the trailer of the movie was launched last month, the Big B was overjoyed by his son's performance. "I am proud to say you are my Son," his tweet read.


Later, he also thanked his fans for an overwhelming reaction to the trailer of 'Bob Biswas'.


Directed by Diya Annapurna Ghosh, 'Bob Biswas' is scheduled to release on ZEE5 on December 3. The crime-suspense movie, featuring actress Chitrangada Singh in the lead role opposite Bachchan, is said to be a spin-off to the 2012 film 'Kahaani' - starring Vidya Balan.
