There’s a reason Amitabh Bachchan is called as the ‘Shahenshah’ of Bollywood. The ‘Brahmastra’ actor continues to impress the critics and audience with acting prowess and even at the age of 75, has a couple of exciting projects in his kitty. Big B is all set to return to the small screens with Kaun Banega Crorepati 10 on Sony TV and fans are super excited to see him back. At the press conference of KBC 10, Senior Bachchan was asked about the leading ladies of tinsel town and he replied that he is scared to work with Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt and Anushka Sharma.
The ‘102 Not Out’ star said that he is scared to work with the younger lot of actors as they are brilliant. “From the younger lot, Alia, Anushka and Deepika – all of them are such powerful actors that I am scared to work with them. Kha hi jaayege humko,” Amitabh told the reporters at the show’s launch in Mumbai.
“We took years and years and years and years and we are still trying to fine tune our craft, these people they come first day on the set and they know exactly what they are doing. They are so confident and so mature,’’ Bachchan further added.
