Big B craves for a break (Movie Snippets)

Even at 71, Amitabh Bachchan is one of the busiest stars in the Hindi film circuit thanks to shootings and endorsement commitments. He says he really desires some time off work.

The actor was recently in the capital to attend an event and he took to his blog to express his wish.

"As I laze about in my environs at home in Delhi, I feel the need of a reduction in pressures of work. And I wonder what may I do if I were to do that," he posted in his blog srbachchan.tumblr.com.

But after having achieved unparalleled success and recognition, the superstar feels its not fair for him to stop working, even for a while.

"Life has been most generous and kind to me, that I often feel if I merely stopped it would be an injustice to all that life by the grace of the Almighty gave me," he said.

The actor is currently shooting for "Bhootnath Returns".
