Veteran Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, who is currently basking in the landslide success of his film Kalki 2898 AD, has almost confirmed that his son, Abhishek Bachchan, stars in the upcoming Shah Rukh Khan-starrer film King. On Tuesday, Big B took to his X and quoted a tweet from a fan club of Abhishek. The tweet spoke about Abhishek’s side as an antagonist and shared that the actor will be seen in a negative role in King which also stars SRK’s daughter Suhana Khan.

The film, directed by Zoya Akhtar, was panned universally by the critics and failed to appeal to the audience because of its bland theme and treatment.
