Everything about it was just flawless. It was an amazing achievement by the entire team. I feel The Big Bull is a completely different experience to what Scam 1992 was. Backdrops may be similar but see the film and then decide for yourself.”

He further said, “Comparisons happen and that’s fine. It’s not like I am not used to comparisons. I have been compared to several people my entire life. In my career, I am mostly compared to my dad (Amitabh Bachchan) and he is the best. I am not particularly perturbed about it. I have a huge amount of confidence in what our film is and am very proud and happy about it.” He said that he thoroughly enjoyed doing the film and he thinks people will enjoy it as well.
