That, and the fact that 69 year-old Amitabh Bachchan still makes the ladies week-kneed are 2 out of 6 reasons why Puri Jagannath, director of Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap, believes the superstar is perfect for the lead role of a refurbished angry young man who kickboxes, carouses and raises hell throughout the film

Reason 1: Because Amitji remains a style icon.
In my film, Amitji plays a Mumbai gangster who settles in Paris, but returns to the city on a mission. Since he has lived in one of the style capitals of the world, he is depicted as a stylish man. And in real life too, Amitji is stylish. Recently, when we wanted to do a photo shoot for the film, we were discussing the styling of the character. Amitji took me to his wardrobe and showed me his outfits. There were so many colourful sunglasses, suits and pants in there. He even owns a pair of tiger print trousers. Who buys pants like that? He knows what looks good on him; he sat with the stylist and designed his look.

Reason 2: Because Amitji is still a hit with the ladies.
In the film, Raveena plays his girlfriend. Amitji still has the power to make women swoon over him. When you watch the film you will understand his appeal. While shooting, the girls on set would fall all over him.
