I can barely act, says Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan has been voted as the superstar of the millennium yet he clearly reveals that he can barely act and sees himself incapable of directing any movie. Amitabh Bachchan in his latest blog wrote, “I am often asked when I could direct film and my standard answer to that has always been that I can barely act, where am I going to get the acumen to direct. To me it has been an enormous task that can only be fulfilled by those that have passion and desire to want to tell a story.”

After winning the best actor award at recent Star Screen Awards, Amitabh said, “I guess sometime or the other we have all wanted to do that- to narrate a credible story. I am most happy when I do not have to worry about the aspects of film making than with those connected to a performance. Prepare, perform and push off! It may sound too selfish thought, but really what else could I ever contribute to it.”

Big b with his acclaimed bollywood career further added, “Directing a film is an enormous task. Every aspect of it has to be understood and envisioned before any claim can be made on this. Which is why I think the respect and admiration and acclaim that should have rightfully been the director’s is sometimes destroyed by a complete misunderstanding of what his or her contribution, in the field of direction is.”
