Amitabh Bachchan: Bold, not old

Tollywood director Puri Jagannath, who is returning to Hindi films after seven years with Bbuddah...Hoga Tera Baap in which Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan plays a bold and flamboyant role, says he made the movie to tell the people that the 68-year-old actor is still young.

"I'm a big fan of Amitabh Bachchan since childhood and I used to watch all his movies. But then came a time, when he started doing films that I didn't like him in," Jagannath said.

"After Mard I didn't see his films until he did Sarkar and that was perfect for him. I wanted to make a film just for him and make it in a way that I can tell people that he is not old. He still has that fire, and that charisma. Hence was born the idea of this film," he added.

In Bbuddah...Hoga Tera Baap, Bachchan is seen as an angry man who wears bright, bold, over-the-top clothes and hates it when someone calls him old.
