Amid rumours of his retirement, Amitabh Bachchan penned a reflective piece on his blog touching on themes of “saturation” and “leaving a void”. The legendary actor also delved into the phenomenon of rapid information dissemination. Bachchan articulated, “Saturation… and the paucity of space… two sides of the same coin… unavoidable… but present, causing the mind to work in deeds that it may never have encountered…” He further explained, “The spread of information vast and in multiples, compels one and all to visit each… and by the time one has thought where to go, the influence of the others takes prominence to the extent that the first is lost and forgotten…” He mused on the modern concept of multitasking, saying, “Multitasking is a great word in the modern lingua. But the virtues of it have been overtaken long back… leaving a void unfulfilled and vacant. Like now, the vacancy exists. So close the book and search another medium.” In a separate, enigmatic post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Bachchan simply wrote, “Time to go.” This brief message ignited a flurry of speculation online, with fans and followers debating whether he was hinting at his exit from the film industry or his popular quiz show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’. Some even wondered if the post was a subtle reference to his health. On the professional front, Sr Bachchan is gearing up to start filming for the sequel to ‘Kalki 2898 AD’.
