Fans of Shah Rukh Khan are going gaga over his acting performance in “Raees” but there is something more to cheer for the King Khan as his performance has been praised by none other than Big B himself. The words of praise showered by AB senior must be very special for the King Khan as Shah Rukh holds a great deal of respect for the legend.
Amitabh Bachchan took to a social networking site to congratulate Shah Rukh and praised him for the way he played the character of a bootlegger. He wrote, “Congratulations Shahrukh .. RAEES .. loved your anger in it !!”

Shah Rukh’s movie is not only performing superb on the box-office but he is getting accolades for his role too. Amitabh Bachchan broke the trend of romantic heroes and he was the original “Angry Young Man” of Bollywood, so if he loves the anger of Shah Rukh in “Raees”, it is definitely a big deal.
The two biggies of B-Town talked further and SRK disclosed that Big B is his inspiration whenever he plays characters which are, “drunk, angry, powerful, comic or swaggy”.
ya right .. !!! ?? haha .. no seriously some moments were electric !!
