Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan during the promotions of Badla.Amitabh Bachchan’s last release Badla, also starring Taapsee Pannu, has earned Rs 85.26 crore in India until now. The film received a positive response from the audience and film critics. But, the silence around the success of the film has irked Big B.
After a Twitter user shared the box office collection of the Sujoy Ghosh directorial, senior Bachchan retweeted it and pulled up his industry colleagues, the producer and distributor of the film for being silent about the success of the movie. He wrote, “… about time someone started talking about this silent success .. !! because neither the Producer, nor the distributor, nor the on line Producer, or any else in the Industry, in general .. has even spent a nano second to compliment the success of this film #Badla .. thk u.”
