Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is currently shooting for filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's television show, was aged down at 20 years for a particular sequence for the show.

The 71-year-old actor, who has carved his place on the small screen as the host of reality show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati', is all set to make a debut in a television series to be directed by Anurag Kashyap.

He posted on his blog: The desperate attempts to make me look 20 years younger for the sequence at the shoot, was hilarious .. to say the least !! How conveniently easy it is to age rapidly, but how inconveniently long it takes to push time back ..

After several attempts the results :

And now that all have carefully suppressed their giggles and snide asides, it is time for me to seek my time with the pillow ..

May I assure you ladies and gentlemen of the jury, that there shall be opportunity for greater stifled laughs by the morrow, when thou shall be subjected to many more examples of my idiocy ..

Since I am seeking the elixir of youth, I need to do some basics : sticking to routine and regimen

Talking about the television venture, Amitabh Bachchan had earlier said: "This is a fresh initiative and one that I felt I needed to explore, so there it is. Its creativity is in the hands of Anurag Kashyap .. The idea really is to do something out and away from the groove, with great production values and to make it more finite and watchable. It is another first for me and I look towards it with great anticipation, and apprehension, as we do mostly whenever something new needs to be initiated. I do hope that this comes to you with appropriate likeness, and I do hope that we are able to do justice to this. With all your blessings and care of course "
