My work ethic is not to break records: Amitabh Bachchan

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who plays a 102-year-old man in his latest film "102 Not Out", says he strives to better himself with each film rather than focus on goal posts.

According to the 75-year-old, who has been in films for almost 50 years and continues to bat, 'not out', every day is a learning experience. His work ethic, he said, is not to break records.

If the audience does not notice the artiste's efforts, he or she tries to up their game the next time, Bachchan told PTI.
