What's the story
Anurag Kashyap directed 'Manmarziyaan' recently caught the eye of Amitabh Bachchan, and he was full of emotions after watching the film.

But he didn't say anything to son Abhishek Bachchan. Here's why.
On Abhishek
Where is the comment for Abhishek?
A DNA report says that Amitabh was full of emotions after seeing Abhishek's performance in the film, hence didn't give him any feedback.
'Manmarziyaan' is Abhishek's first film after a two-year gap.
When Abhishek asked his father for his reaction to his performance, the 75-year-old actor said, "I'll speak to you later."
The proud father was apparently speechless! Of course, in a good way.
