Amitabh Bachchan has seen the blockbuster success of many of his films in his nearly 50-year-old career, but the megastar says the prospect of a movie not working still worries him.

The 75-year-old actor's latest outing "102 Not Out", co-starring Rishi Kapoor, has not only earned favourable reviews, but is also doing well commercially.

When asked if there is still a fear of failure before the release of a movie, Bachchan told reporters, "It's always there. From the day we begin, much before the release, that's all we talk about - what is going to happen, how many theatres, how much do we expect, if people are going to like it or not..."
"That's always a worry for us. Even now, backstage Chintu (Rishi) and I were talking, what is the collection, what is going to happen in the days to come."
When asked if his son actor Ranbir liked the film, Kapoor quipped, "He won't say anything wrong. But since he stays in other house, he can say that too. But everyone liked the film and all the performances."
