Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, whose memorable film "Don" is set to complete 38 years of its release in April this year, on Tuesday reminisced about the "masterpiece" that it was.

"'Don' completes several years... and what a masterpiece it was... for me just another day of apprehensions," Big B wrote on Twitter along with photographs of the film's poster.

The movie is an action-thriller, which revolves around a powerful gangster named Don played by Amitabh, who was seen in a double role in the film.

A remake and sequel of the film were released in October 2006 and December 2011 respectively. They starred Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan.

Directed by Chandra Barot, "Don" is considered to be one of the most iconic movies of Bollywood.
