The Big Bull Trailer: Abhishek Bachchan as Harshad Mehta is Scam 1992 as a movie

The trailer of Abhishek Bachchan's The Big Bull is finally out. The actor is playing the role of a stockbroker in the film. Directed by Kookie Gulati, the film is inspired by true events based on the stock market scam by Harshad Mehta, who was often called the Big Bull of Dalal Street. Ajay Devgn is one of the producers of the film. The Big Bull will premiere on Disney+Hotstar on April 8.

Abhishek Bachchan is seen as an interesting avatar in the trailer of The Big Bull. The trailer gives a gist of the man called Hemant Shah (Abhishek's character in the film) and how he planned one of the biggest stock market scams in the history of India. His character is inspired by Harshad Mehta, who conducted a huge stock market scam over a period of 10 years from 1980 to 1990. The trailer also features Ileana D'cruz in the role of journalist Sucheta Dalal, who broke the scam in the 90s.

Abhishek Bachchan and Ajay Devgn took to social media to share the trailer of The Big Bull. Abhishek wrote, "The Big Bull - Official Trailer. This was not just a scam... it was the #MotherOfAllScams! #TheBigBullTrailer out now. #TheBigBull releasing on 8th April on @disneyplushotstarvip. #DisneyPlusHotstarMultiplex (sic)."
