There is still a fear of failure: Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan has seen the blockbuster success of many of his films in his nearly 50-year-old career, but the megastar says the prospect of a movie not working still worries him. The 75-year-old actor's latest outing "102 Not Out", co-starring Rishi Kapoor, hasn't only earned favorable reviews but is also doing well commercially. He was speaking at a special event to celebrate film's success.
Bachchan said he recently met his "Thugs of Hindostan" co-star Aamir Khan to understand the math behind churning money-spinners. "I met Aamir recently and he had a peculiar financial reading. He said if your weekend collection is Rs. 10cr if you multiply it by three, that's the estimate of your lifetime collection. So, there is all this mathematic reasoning behind it," he said.
Bachchan said his wife and actor Jaya Bhaduri had a smart observation about the film. "Madam (Bhaduri) is critical of my work. This time, she told me the timing of the film is really nice. There are big, sci-fi Hollywood projects releasing like 'Avengers' and suddenly here is our small film, which will make a place in people's heart. She was right," he said.
When asked if his son actor Ranbir liked the film, Rishi Kapoor quipped, "He won't say anything wrong. But everyone liked the film and all the performances." The film reunites the powerhouse performers, Bachchan and Kapoor, on screen after 27 years. The two actors have earlier appeared together in films such as "Kabhie Kabhie", "Amar Akbar Anthony", "Naseeb", "Coolie", and "Ajooba".
