New Delhi: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has taken offence at a movie critic calling Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar a 'jackass'.
Reacting on Twitter to journalist Rajeev Masand's comment on a photo of Akshay with ailing cartoonist R K Laxman at a Mumbai hospital, Bachchan wrote, "Rajeev! Your fraternity will never pull you up for calling Akshay a 'jackass'. Ever thought if the reverse were to be done... would your fraternity have spared Akshay if he were to address you as one ..?? Never expected this language from you !!"
In his comments on Twitter, Masand had referred to a newspaper report which termed Akshay's visit as a publicity gimmick for his upcoming movie 'Khatta Meetha'.
"Need innovative ideas 2 promote films in competitive times. But Akshay Kumar grinning like a jackass at R K Laxman's hospital bed is a new low (sic)," Masand had written on the micro-blogging site.
