In his 40 year long showbiz career, mega star Amitabh Bachchan has worked with some of the best directors but the actor believes that women do a better job behind the camera.
The superstar is playing a mathematics genius in his upcoming film `Teen Patti`, where he has been directed by Leena Yadav. Interestingly, in his entire career the veteran has worked only once with a female director before, that was Honey Irani, who helmed `Armaan`.
"There is not much difference. But I think women are more efficient directors than men," the 67-year-old told reporters.
The actor leads a cast of newcomers in the film including Shakti Kapoor`s daughter Shradda Kapoor, but when asked whether he gave any tips to the youngsters, Bachchan said, "They have done a great job in the film. You won`t believe that it is their first movie. I did not teach them anything, on the contrary it is I who learnt from them."
The actor, who shares the screen with Academy award winner Ben Kingsley for the first time in the film, said working with the `Gandhi` actor was an amazing experience.
"He is a great artiste and a very good human being. He was very down-to-earth and normal," Bachchan said. The film, which revolves around gambling, will hit theatres on February 26.
"I am a mathematics professor working on the theory of probability. Once while playing a computer game I discover that my theory can be applied to the game of cards and we start playing to win," the actor said about his role.
