The megastar, 79, further said he is blessed to have the opportunity to play diverse roles at this point in his career. "[With every film offer], I just think I got one more job. At my age, we hardly get a job and whenever we do, I feel fortunate. We just go and do what the writer has written and what the director tells us to do. It is an honour and privilege that they are able to give something different to me," he added.
