He may have had the maximum number of hits this year, but Bollywood mega super star Amitabh Bachchan feels Shah Rukh Khan is the badshah of the Indian film industry.
"I am not the badshah of the film industry. I am only a member. Shah Rukh Khan is the badshah," Bachchan told the Seedhi Baat programme on Aaj Tak on Sunday night.
The mega superstar, who celebrated his 63rd birthday recently, was replying to a question on whether he was not the badshah of Bollywood. "The entire world considers him the badshah. His films are the most successful," he said about why he felt SRK was the number one star.
When reminded that he had a greater number of hit films than SRK, Bachchan said, "so what. Next year, his films will do better."
Bachchan, who is having a remarkable run as an actor at present and whose biggest releases this year include Bunty Aur Babli , Sarkar , Black and Waqt – A Race Against Time , said he would go on acting until he was physically worn.
"I am basically a man who is looking for acting challenges, looking for work. And I will keep working till I get physically worn," Bachchan said when asked about the different kind of roles he was getting to play now in the latter half of his career.
Bachchan also said he enjoyed working with the new generation of directors and producers as they had fresh ideas about filmmaking.
