Referring to Amitabh Bachchan's 1988 film Shahenshah, a fan tweeted, " Andheri raaton mein Shahenshah kyu jaag rahe ho.. So jayiye ab umar ho gayi aapko. [Why are you still awake, Shahenshah? Go to sleep now, you are old].
To which, the actor replied, " Ek din tumhari bhi umr ho jayegi.. Ishwar ne chaha [One day you too will age too.. God's willing]." However, he deleted the tweet just minutes after posting, reported Times of India.
Last month, Amitabh Bachchan expressed his frustration over constant criticism over his social media posts.
The actor wrote on his blog, "And they tell me to change my signature .. to not put dots in it .. to not put curved lines .. to wear this, to wear that .. to not visit here or there .. to not talk here, to not talk there .. when you talk they say why do you talk .. when you do not talk they say why you do not talk."
He added, "I have learnt how to live life, from the seas and oceans; to flow quietly and to exist in your own ardor your own avidity and zest. The learnings from Babu ji, my revered father .. an eternal gift for my living and learning .. my gratitude and my affection."
Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in Vettaiyan alongside Rajinikanth. The actor will next be seen in the Kalki 2898 AD sequel with Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan.

This 28 year old film of Amitabh Bachchan was his biggest flop, even Jaya Bachchan walked out at the interval, film is.., lead actress was... The megastar of Indian cinema, Amitabh Bachchan, has dominated Bollywood for decades with his famous roles and historic blockbusters. From the 'angry young man' of the 70s to his powerful characters in modern films, Bachchan has won the admiration and affection of generations. Although the majority of his films have been successful, not every film in his career was a hit. The film that we are talking about is none other than Mrityudaata. Released 28 years ago, this film stands to be the biggest career failure in Amitabh Bachchan's remarkable career. Produced by his own company ABCL and directed by Mehul Kumar, hopes were high. The supporting cast featured some strong performers like Karishma Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, Pran, and Dimple Kapadia opposite Amitabh, but no amount of anticipation could prepare audiences for the disaster Mrityudaata would become. What's surprising is that his wife, Jaya Bachchan, understood the fate of this movie early on. During the preview screening, she left at the interval. That was enough for Amitabh to know something was wrong. When he asked her why she left, Jaya replied that she had found the film boring, and it had not engaged her from the start. Much self-honesty as those predictions were, they were sadly true. The audience's lack of engagement and Dimple and Amitabh's on-screen chemistry did not create any lasting impression. The film failed to recover its budget as a commercial endeavor at the box office. Amitabh later took responsibility for the flop, admitting the film did not live up to expectations and he was partly to blame for finding it not good enough. After scoring a hit after a hit in the 70s and 80s, he was facing a series of flops, which started to erode his persona. Mrityudata, rather than being a comeback film, was just one more film on the wrong side of the ledger. Failure, however, is a reminder that legends also have lows and is, as always, an opportunity for courage, recognition of it, and rising again.
