Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has received threat calls from an unknown person on his mobile, the actor revealed it on his blog. 

Big B, who played a genie in his latest rlease Aladin, wrote: "I visit a Muslim dargah and a Hindu temple has been viciously criticised by an unknown element on my mobile. He says it is incorrect of me to do so and that I should never do it again."

Amitabh Bachchan has been paying a visit to the Haji Ali dargah in Mumbai for the past few years. 

The actor in his reply said: "Well dear man, if you are reading this insignificant little blog of mine, here is what I have to say to you. I am going to do it again and shall continue to do it. And I want to see how you are going to stop me. If you have the courage and guts com and get me."

However, the actor is unperturbed.

“We live in a secular society where we learn to respect all religions. My belief is of my own making. If the temple or the mosque or a dargah has no objection to my visits, if my constitution gives me that freedom then who is this man to stop me or correct me? 

“I am going to do it again and shall continue to do it. And I want to see how you are going to stop me. If you have the courage and guts come and get me,” said the actor. In the message, the man also mentioned that Amitabh’s recently released film “Aladin” will not be successful because of this act of the star. 

“If the film has merit, no force on earth will be able to stop its worth. If the film is weak and does not have merit, no force on earth shall be able to make it a success. At the cost of every film of mine failing, I am not going to change my routine,” Amitabh said.

Big B, who recently celebrated his 67th birthday earlier this month, said: "I do have his mobile number and I do have a name too. I believe that there is no law that can protect such atrocious uttering. We live in a temperate secular society where we learn to respect all religions. My belief is of my own making. If the temple or the mosque or a dargah has no objection to my visits ; if my Constitution and the laws of the country give me that freedom and if I do not offend them, then who is this man to stop me or correct me ?"

"It is elements like this that penetrate the psyche of vulnerable and innocent people and subject them to unnecessary and unjustified bias. I strongly object to it and abhor the existence of such elements in society. This gentleman even threatens me by getting personal. He says that my film Aladin shall not have success because of this deed of mine."

The legendary actor said he will never change his routine by a mere threaten call: "At the cost of every film of mine failing, I am not going to change my routine. If I wish to go to a temple I shall go there. If I wish to go to a mosque I shall go there as well and so also to a gurudwara or a church. And I want to see who is going to stop me from doing so."
