Amitabh Comes To Abhishek’s Defense, Or Does He?!
June 27, 08 by Ballz Bollywood!
There were recent reports of a smackdown between Abhishek Bachchan and a spot boy on the set of his film ‘Drona’. Apparently when the worker forgot to carry out one of his many orders, Abhi went into diva mode and took to physical abuse. His father, Amitabh, who describes the reports as completely untrue, feels his beloved son is a victim of bad press.
“He does have the ability though to attract incongruous and totally incorrect press,” the 65-year old actor laments in a post on his blog. “There has been absolutely no such incident on set. It is a fabrication of the highest order.”
While it does seem like Abhishek can do nothing right to many media outlets, Mr Bachchan’s attempt to protect his son’s image terribily backfired when he mentioned: “Abhishek does not have the ability to strike a fly.”
We know you meant well dad but, really, how is that going to help his hairband-wearing-pink-loving-action-hero image?! At least reports of a beat down made him seem more macho, whereas daddy’s comment makes him look more sissified than ever!
