Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan has tried his luck in every genre films from comedy to action and romance. Although he could not get a superstardam like his father Amitabh Bachchan, but a special honor has definitely been made in the audience regarding his acting. But at the beginning of his career, he also had to face such a bitter experience, which hardly any star can ever forget.

This incident took place in the year 2002, when Abhishek’s film ‘Prank’ was released. A few days after the release of the film, he was present outside Mumbai’s famous Gaity Galaxy Cinema. Then a woman, who came out after watching the film, came to Abhishek, who was angry with anger and slapped him. Reason? The woman did not like the film ‘Prank’ at all. The woman clearly stated that she is a big fan of Amitabh Bachchan, but Abhishek is spoiling her name and should give up acting. This incident shook Abhishek, but he never gave up.

‘Prank’ flopped badly at the box office

‘Prank’ was directed by Gurudev Bhalla and it also included veteran artists like Amarish Puri, Om Puri and Mohanish Bahl. Despite this, the film flopped badly at the box office. According to Box Office India, the budget of this film was around Rs 5 crore, but this film was able to earn only 63.25 lakh rupees in India. At the same time, the worldwide collection was reduced to only Rs 1.24 crore.

The first step of career was taken two years ago

Abhishek made her Bollywood debut in JP Dutta’s film Refugee in 2000. His debut film with Kareena Kapoor was average at the box office, but there was a lot of discussion about her performance.

Returned to discuss again from ‘Housefull 5’

Now Abhishek Bachchan is once again in the headlines with his recent release film ‘Housefull 5’. The film is released on June 6, in which he has been seen with Akshay Kumar and Ritesh Deshmukh. Within 9 days of release, the film has grossed around Rs 142 crore at the domestic box office.
