Veteran writer, actor and producer Salim Khan, who has worked with Amitabh Bachchan in more than ten films, feels the legendary actor should retire now and just enjoy life according to his wishes instead of continuing in the race. Big B turned 79 on October 11 and completed 52 years in the Hindi cinema this year.
Salim Khan told a leading daily in an interview, “Amitabh Bachchan should retire now. He has achieved all that he had to in this life. One should keep a few years of life for oneself as well. Amitabh Bachchan has played a brilliant innings professionally. He has done good work so he must free himself from the race. He must take a graceful retirement.”

Salim then explained that the system of retirement exists so that a person may spend a few years living life according to his/her wishes. The starting years are spent in studying and learning stuff, then you have the responsibilities of family, he added. “For example, my world is limited now. All the people I go on walks with are from non-filmy backgrounds.”
The writer also said, “Amitabh Bachchan was the hero who could play an angry young man, he still is. However, there are no stories for an actor like Amitabh now. Our films have improved technically, the music and action have improved but we do not have good scripts.”
