Abhishek Bachchan starrer, The Big Bull, is trending on social media currently. Directed by Kookie Gulati and inspired by the adventures of the controversial stockbroker Harshad Mehta, the movie has now been announced as one of the ‘Top OTT originals of the week’ by Ormax Media, an organisation that aggregates numbers of content on streaming.

Abhishek Bachchan took his social media account to share this news, the post also showed that the film so far has over 5.8 million streams. The 45-year-old actor said that it was an amazing and humbling experience for him, and even thanked people for watching the film.

“This is so amazing and humbling!!! Thank you all so much for watching The Big Bull and for all the love. Really appreciate it,” he tweeted.

Amitabh Bachchan also wrote a blog saying, “For a Father, it is ever a moment of great pride to see their ‘progress report’ prosper and do well .. I am no different from any other Father .. the mention of such always brings emotion and tears .. particularly when there is an exhibition of immense value.” He also mentioned “that Big Bull had been seen privately within the confines of the home much earlier” but “the excitement of watching it when the entire world shall be seeing it at the same time, was different..”

However, a few social media users didn't take the film well. From questioning Abhishek’s acting talent to bringing in a direct comparison with Hansal Mehta’s web series Scam 1992 starring Pratik Gandhi, the film has also faced backlash in the last couple of days.

Produced by Ajay Devgn and Anand Pandit, The Big Bull stars Nikita Dutta, Ileana D’Cruz, Sohum Shah, Ram Kapoor and Saurabh Shukla as well. Abhishek Bachchan is all set to feature in the much-awaited thriller based on the life of a serial killer, Bob Biswas with Chitrangda Singh and Dasvi co-starring Yami Gautam next.
