The man who has completed 50 years in Hindi cinema and has more than 250 films to his credit, says that at the age of 75, he still feels like a kid. Dharmendra will be seen playing a don in Tell Me O Kkhuda, a film directed by his wife Hema Malini and starring his daughter Esha Deol.

Ensconced in a cosy sofa at his residence in the Mumbai suburb of Juhu, Dharmendra talks to Sonil Dedhia over a cup of tea, about the experience of being directed by his wife, working with his daughter and his life so far. You have worked with your sons Sunny and Bobby, and now with Tell Me O Kkhuda (TMOK), you are sharing the screen with your daughter Esha. Are you excited?

Yes, I am very excited. It's always good to work with your family. I love the script. TMOK is the story of Tanya (Esha), a happy-go-lucky city girl who is a novelist, has a boyfriend, and is well-settled. Her life suddenly turns upside down when she finds out that she is an adopted child. Nursing a wish to meet her biological parents, she leaves home along with her childhood friend (Chandan Roy Sanyal) and boyfriend (Arjan Bajwa). The trio embark on a journey filled with adventure, action, emotion and comedy.

Tell us about your character in the movie. I play Anthony, a don in Goa, who is the uncrowned ruler of the underworld and is very powerful. Yet, he is soft-hearted because he loved a girl when he was young but was betrayed by her. Due to certain circumstances, Anthony meets Tanya and her friends. The much dreaded mafia don is amused by their courage and the task they have undertaken and helps them find Tanya's parents.

My look is very different in the film and I love it. Esha suggested it -- she came up with the idea of keeping the side locks and making me wear an earring.
