Mumbai, Aug 19 (IANS) Being the son of one of the most legendary actors in Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan has been subjected to constant comparisons with his iconic father over the years.
During a throwback interaction with the media, Abhishek reflected on the comparisons with dad Amitabh Bachchan, saying that given the fact that he is the son of Amitabh Bachchan, it should not come as a surprise to anyone that he is similar to him.
When Abhishek was asked if he deliberately tried to imitate his father, the ‘Dhoom’ actor had replied, saying that he does not think anyone could copy Big B.
He was heard saying, “First of all, even if somebody tried to copy him, they wouldn’t be able to. It’s a unique piece over there. As far as, if you think I’m similar to him, I am. I’m his son. I’ve got his blood running in my veins. Obviously, there will be things that I do which will be very similar to him.”
Talking about Abhishek’s cinematic journey, he made his debut back in 2000 opposite Kareena Kapoor with the movie ‘Refugee’.

Up next, Abhishek will be seen essaying an important role in Shah Rukh Khan’s highly-awaited “King”, which has been made under the direction of Siddharth Anand.
