Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has received threat through a text message on hismobile phone for having visited both a temple and a dargah. The sexagenarian, who often mentions his routines on his blog, mentioned his visit to Haji Ali Dargah and the nearby Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai on Thursday. "That 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 wrote on his blog bigb.bigadda.com. 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 Aladinwill 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. Further criticising the message, he said it was an "obscene mobile sermon"Amitabh Bachchan gets SMS threats

Amitabh Bachchan gets SMS threats
Can't think beyond male-female stuff: Imtiaz
He is not resting on his laurels after the success of Love Aaj Kal. Imtiaz Ali is already thinking aboutdifferent stories and scripts to make into film but says whatever he makes will have the man-woman relationship as its focus. "I haven't decided yet which story I am going to make next. I have a few stories swimming around in my mind. I don't know how they are going to take shape or which one is going to become a compulsive reason to make a film," said Ali. "All the stories that I have, have something to do with a man-woman relationship. I can't think of any story that doesn't involve a man-womanrelationship," he added. The three-film old director also hinted at a spy movie with a similar background. "I also have a story which is a kind of secret service type where there is a guy who discovers himself by being the obscure secret service guy. But even there, though there is not the presence of too many women, the enduring trait is his relationship with a woman who won't be seen on screen too much," said the 38-year-old. Asked about his affinity towards such themes, he said, "There is no deliberate reason why that happens. May be I just want to discover it." He added, "I don't want to restrict myself but at the same time I'm not going to try to prove that I'm different or I can reinvent myself. I'll just make the movie that I think is the best that I can make," said the director who struck gold with Jab We Met. "I don't represent a style or a function or a system of working. I only represent myself and I am a victim of my own limitations. But I have an advantage too. I am a man of common taste. What I like generally people tend to like too. It's a boon," he addedCan't think beyond male-female stuff: Imtiaz
