Mumbai: Superstar Amitabh Bachchan stepped out to launch a film magazine, which carries an in depth interview of the actor on all issues controversial except the land deal issue.

Bachchan played the part of a coverboy well though he seemed to be in a bit of a hurry while launching the magazine.

Modestly turning down all compliments about being a coverboy at 60 plus, Bachchan said, “I think Filmfare is pretty unfortunate to feature me on the cover but I am still grateful.”

The Big B knew that the media would be interested more in questions related to his land controversy and less in him being the coverboy.

“It's the media's job to ask me questions and make it clear for me to speak out in the media,” Bachchan said cleverly tackling the issue.

Nevertheless, with more and bigger films in the offing from Bachchan and his family, he will probably make it to lot many covers in the future and hopefully minus the controversies.
