"My knowledge of dance has been excruciatingly minimal. And now with the modern day choreographers and dancers that have developed a style of their own, it is tough going for me!" Amitabh posted on his blog.
The 68-year-old, known for his typical dancing style, has been rehearsing hard to pick up the steps.
"Matching the dance steps of the younger lot today is a nightmare for me ... desperately rehearsing in spare time to not look foolish!" he posted on Twitter.
"Really ... the artists fascinate me on this issue. I see others lazily flow into a song and come out looking like a million bucks!! They must be terribly well designed to pick up what the move expects from them, in a jiffy. When I in the meantime keep seeking rehearsals, and retakes," he added.
