Amitabh
Bachchan,
72,
is
one
of
the
busiest
stars
in
the
industry.
Filmmaker
Farhan
Akhtar,
40,
says
he
is
truly
inspired
by
the
senior
thespian's
energy
and
hopes
he's
able
to
keep
up
the
same
enthusiasm
at
that
age.
After
directing
him
in
Lakshya,
Farhan
is
now
working
with
Amitabh
as
a
co-star
in
Wazir,
which
also
features
Aditi
Rao
Hydari
and
is
directed
by
Bejoy
Nambiar.
"It
feels
great
to
be
working
with
someone
whom
I
have
admired
throughout
my
life.
It's
difficult
to
say
that
if
he
does
this
(a
certain
thing),
so
I
should
also
do
that.
That
doesn't
really
happen.
"But
what's
most
important
is
that
you
see
someone
working
now
for
close
to
50
years.
It's
very
inspirational.
I
hope
that
I
can
have
the
same
kind
of
enthusiasm
when
I
would
have
worked
for
that
many
years," Farhan,
who's
finding
the
action
sequences
in
Wazir
quite
thrilling,
told.
A
multi-faceted
talent
who
can
act,
sing,
write,
direct
and
produce,
Farhan
is
the
son
of
celebrated
writer
Javed
Akhtar
and
child
actress-turned-screenwriter
Honey
Irani,
who
are
now
separated.
He
had
once
said
that
his
mother
was
not
particularly
happy
with
his
casual
attitude
towards
life
during
his
initial
days
in
showbiz.
But
now,
with
projects
like
Rock
On!!,
Zindagi
Na
Milegi
Dobara
and
Bhaag
Milkha
Bhaag
under
his
belt,
he
feels
she's
happier
with
his
body
of
work.
Farhan,
who
is
a
father
of
two
daughters
with
wife
Adhuna,
says
when
he
looks
back,
he
feels
terrible
about
making
his
mother
stress
over
his
career.
"It
was
a
very
stressful
time
for
her
back
then.
I
feel
terrible
in
retrospect.
At
that
point,
I
was
too
stubborn
and
rebellious
to
think
about
it.
But
now
I
do
feel
very
bad
that
I
stressed
her
to
those
levels.
Hopefully,
she
is
a
lot
happier
now," said
the
director
of
films
like
Dil
Chahta
Hai
and
Don:
The
Chase
Begins
Again.
The
actor
also
makes
a
great
working
team
with
his
sister
Zoya,
who
is
directing
him
next
in
Dil
Dhadakne
Do.
Having
worked
under
her
direction
in
movies
like
Luck
By
Chance
and
Zindagi
Na
Milegi
Dobara,
he
says,
"I
have
always
enjoyed
working
with
her.
She
has
her
own
style
of
writing,
has
her
own
style
of
directing
actors.
"There
is
also
a
certain
comfort
zone
as
we
are
very
close
to
each
other."
