Amitabh Bachchan reacts to Abhishek Bachchan's Kaalidhar Laapata trailer, netizens say 'kabhi apni bahu Aishwarya Rai ka bhi...'

After the ensemble comedy Housefull 5, Abhishek Bachchan will be seen next in the slice-of-life comedy Kaalidhar Laapata. The Hindi film is an official remake of the critically-acclaimed 2019 Tamil comedy drama KD. Abhishek-starrer has also been helmed by Madhumita, who directed the original film. Kaalidhar Laapataa stars Abhishek Bachchan as Kaalidhar, who is a middle-aged man grappling with memory loss, abandonment and a lifetime of quiet betrayals. When he overhears his siblings’ cruel plan to abandon him at the crowded Maha Kumbh Mela, Kaalidhar decides to disappear on his own terms.

When a fan account of Abhishek shared the trailer on X with the caption, "A soul-stirring slice-of-life awaits", the Sholay star reposted it and wrote, "My prayers Abhishek...your ability to choose different roles and films and to immerse yourself in them and succeed...a very rare quality...love and blessings." After the trailer received immense praise for Abhishek's acting chops, Amitabh shared a quote from his own father and iconic poets Harivansh Rai Bachchan on X, that read, "And there is immense admiration for Abhishek....'मेरे बेटे, बेटे होने से मेरे उत्तराधिकारी नहीं होंगे; जो मेरे उत्तराधिकारी होंगे वो मेरे बेटे होंगे' ~हरिवंश राय बच्चन, 'My sons just because you are my sons shall not be my inheritors...they that shall be my inheritors, shall be my sons my inheritor my son.'"

In the comments section, some netizens reminded Amitabh that he should also share promote the films of his daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. One X user wrote, "Kabhi apni bahu Aishwarya Rai ka bhi PR kar dijiye (Sometimes, do a little PR for your daughter-in-law Aishwarya as well)", while another added, "Kabhi apne ghar ki bahu ke liye bhi do chaar shabd likh dijiye (Sometimes, write a few words for your daughter-in-law too)."
