In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Abhishek was asked about often being compared to his father, legendary actor, Amitabh Bachchan, but now he was being compared to Pratik Gandhi. The Guru star replied that he did not have any issue with comparisons. He added  that he had been compared to the ‘great’ and ‘best’ Big B, so any other comparison could not faze him much.

Abhishek termed the comparison with Pratik Gandhi 'flattering.' He stated that he did not think he was not ‘worthy’ of being compared to the Scam 1992 actor.

Ab Jr stated that the performance of Pratik was ‘fantastic’ and also conveyed his best for his future projects, hoping that his junior continues to do the 'good work.' The actor also shared that with his experience of two decades, he was aware of the difficulty to get recognition, as he wished that Pratik continues to get good work.

Meanwhile, The Big Bull also stars Ileana D'Cruz, Nikita Dutta, Saurabh Shukla, among others. The film has been directed by Kookie Gulati. It hits Disney+Hostar on April 8.
