Amitabh: 'I'm too old to play a loverboy'

Amitabh Bachchan has said that he is now too old to play the romantic lead in films.

The Bollywood legend has been in the industry for over 40 years.

He told IANS: "I can't be playing the loverboy anymore. So I do all those roles that suit a 67-year-old.

"I would disagree that actors of my age don't get important roles to play in movies.

"Look at Dada Muni [Ashok Kumar]... he was an example. He kept doing important roles even till he was 80 years old."

Bachchan will be next be seen in Aladin with Jacqueline Fernandez, and Teen Patti with Ben Kingsley.
