New Delhi, February 3: ‘Let’s see what happens to him after 35 years’, was mega star Amitabh Bachchan’s reply to Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan’s provocative posers that his time was over and he was old.

“Whatever he says is correct. I am old and he is young and I agree that he is smart and sexy,” the Big B said. For good effect, he added that he was ‘sexy Sam’, the character he had portrayed in the hit film Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.

But Bachchan accepted that Khan was the ‘reigning King of Bollywood’.

Khan, who recently replaced Bachchan as host of the hit TV game show Kaun Banega Crorepati, had said, “I am sexy, smart and young, that was his century, this is mine.”

While the two Bollywood biggies appeared to be engaged in a clash of titans, Bachchan told a TV channel that all the hype about the competition between them was just a media creation.

“It makes good copy so you people keep on writing about it in beautiful words,” he said.

Khan, who is said to be trying to step into the Big B’s shoes with projects like Kaun Banega Crorepati and the remake of Don, had said, “I have never imitated anyone. I am quite good at what I do.”

Bachchan recently said he wanted to do more good work so that people could imitate him.
