Impressed by 'Dasvi' trailer, Amitabh Bachchan declares Abhishek Bachchan as his 'heir'

The trailer of Abhishek Bachchan’s upcoming film Dasvi has recently released and megastar Amitabh Bachchan is highly impressed with his son’s work and declared him as his 'heir'.

Sharing Dasvi’s trailer, Big B wrote on Twitter, "Mere bete, bete hone se tum mere uttradhikari nahi hoge. Jo mere uttradhikari honge, wo mere bete honge (My son, you won't become my heir by virtue of being my son. Those who will be my heir, will be my sons). --Harivansh Rai Bachchan." The actor further wrote, "Abhishek, tum mere uttradhikari hoge, bus keh diya to keh diya (You will be my heir. I have said it.)." Abhishek was quick to respond with, "Love you Pa, always and eternally an."

Amitabh also took to his blog to elaborate on how proud he felt about his son. Brahmastra actor wrote: "Such pride in the progeny, or as they call it humorously --my progress report! The greatest joy for a Father is to witness the achievements of his children .. to savour the glory they bring to his name .. to be in the recognition as the Father of Abhishek, rather the other way round .. and Abhishek sums it up for me .. I have given this example often through one of babuji’s poem on the ‘vasiyatnama’ the WILL of inheritance, that is written for the progeny on the passing of the elder ..one of the most prominent lines of the verse are: my sons will not be my inheritors my heir apparent, my successors, just because they are my sons; instead they that are my successors, my uttaradhikari’s, shall be my sons."

"And with immense pride I do say that Abhishek is my ‘uttaradhikaari’ ..his continued efforts, at attempting different and dare I say difficult roles, to portray, are not just a challenge, but a mirror shown to the world of cinema, on his ability as an actor and for them to assuage his credibility and tenacity! They that criticise and ridicule the inability of another, for their inadequacy on a subject, do so, because they themselves do not have the capacity or the ability for the adequacy of the subject," he added.

Directed by Tushar Jalota, Dasvi also stars Yami Gautam and Nimrat Kaur. Produced by Dinesh Vijan and Bake My Cake Films, film will stream on Jio Cinema and Netflix from 7th of April 2022.
