Amid Comparisons With Abhishek Bachchan's The Big Bull Trailer, What Scam 1992's Director And Star Tweeted

"Please don't make unfair comparisons," tweeted Scam 1992 director Hansal Mehta

The release of the trailer of Abhishek Bachchan's new film The Big Bull was followed by a predictable narrative on social media - Twitter went into overdrive comparing it to Scam 1992, the web-series that released last year, and found The Big Bull wanting. Both are based on the story of market manipulator Harshad Mehta and the 1992 stock market scam; The Big Bull is a fictionalised version, Scam 1992 is a more realistic take. All day Friday, Twitter has been deluged with posts unfavourably comparing Abhishek Bachchan's performance to that of actor Pratik Gandhi, cast as Harshad Mehta in Scam 1992. Please don't make unfair comparisons. There can be multiple tales on the same story. Every story-teller will have his own way and should be seen independent of the other. This film has so many talents involved just like my show. They've done their best and they deserve your love. https://t.co/vHp8CSlmCU Congratulations @juniorbachchan and the whole team of #TheBigBull .The trailer looks promising. Looking forward to watch the film. https://t.co/u2d4LbFHKM Scam 1992 director Hansal Mehta urged restraint in a tweet, writing: "Please don't make unfair comparisons. There can be multiple tales of the same story. Every story-teller will have his own way and should be seen independent of the other. This film has so many talents involved just like my show. They've done their best and they deserve your love." Mr Mehta added a shoutout in a second tweet: "And very intriguing trailer with such phenomenal actors. You are in great form Abhishek Bachchan."
