In the early 2000s, when Abhishek Bachchan was on the verge of making his debut, there was a palpable excitement amid the audience. The reason behind this excitement had nothing to do with Abhishek himself but the idea that this generation of cinema would get its very own Bachchan. The son of two of the greatest actors of Hindi cinema, Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, was entering the movies and the audience was there to support him for the love they had for his parents. Despite the many failures he had in the early years of his career, the audience (along with the producers of the time) carried him up in their arms and sat through the many mediocre movies he made in those early years, until he had hits to his name. Now, imagine if this was in the present day and Abhishek was making his debut now. There is no way that Abhishek would get the same kind of welcome as he did back in the day, and it seems rather unlikely that he would get the same kind of love as well.
