In the last couple of years, he has managed to impress the audience as well as the critics with his performances in different projects. A month ago, director Apporva Lakhia, who worked with Abhishek for Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost, had spoken about the actor and called him the “Batman” of Bollywood.

Recently reacting to Apporva’s remark, Jr Bachchan stated that he is “embarrassed”. In an interview with ETime, Bachchan asserted, “I am very embarrassed. Apu (poorva) is family to me. From the first time we met, when he came to pitch Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost to now, he instantly became family. He's been a part of my life for over 20 years.”

Abhishek further added, “He's a close collaborator of mine, he's like my elder brother. He's a part of every momentous occasion in my life - be it my wedding or my daughter's birth or any milestone. He's considered family at home as well. So, I think his emotions towards me may have made him say that.”

For the unversed, in a conversation with Sidharth Kannan, Lakhia had said, “If everyone is a superhero in the film industry, let’s say Salman Khan is Superman, Shah Rukh Khan is Spiderman, then Abhishek is Batman because he is not a superhero, he is a human being. He is a relatable human being like Bruce Wayne, who comes from an affluent family but he is down to earth and wants to help people. I always say my superhero is a human being and that is Abhishek Bachchan.”
