Amitabh Bachchan has been simply unfiltered on his X (formerly Twitter) account in the recent past as the superstar has been shutting down trolls with his sassy replies. The same happened on Monday, when one of the X users mocked him for his cyber crime caller tune, that is heard before every mobile call in India.

Amitabh Bachchan is a part of I4C initiative

Last year, the Sholay star had joined the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) initiative of the Ministry of Home Affairs to tackle cyber frauds in the country. As part of this initiative, a pre-recorded message in Bachchan's voice alerting the citizens about the cyber crime and frauds, is heard before the calls made across all the networks in the nation. However, citizens have often complained on social media that thi could cause trouble for those in emergency.

Replying to him, one netizen wrote, "Toh phone pe bolna band karo bhai (Stop talking on the phone, man)." The 82-year-old actor shut him down and answered, "Sarkaar ko bolo bhai, unhone humse kaha so kiya (Tell this to the government, I did what they asked me to do)."
