MUMBAI: 2010 seems to be the year when lifetime achievement awards are coming in hordes to Amitabh Bachchan.

On 12 March it was announced that the sixth Muscat International Film Festival will honour Big B with the lifetime achievement award.

And now, the Hong Kong International Film Festival too has decided to confer Bachchan with the same honour.

Bachchan will be presented with the award at the event's Asian Film Awards, to be presented on 22 March.

Says Bachchan in his blog, "It is the year of Lifetime Awards ( LTA ). Hong Kong's Asian Film Festival now wishes to honour me with similar recognition before the end of the month. Yet another moment when the Indian tricolour shall earn recognition on foreign soil. A moment of pride for me, a fraternity of which I am a part and a country whose citizenship I cherish."

Bachchan has appeared in more than 100 movies in a career spanning four decades. He recently starred in Paa that got him the best actor award from Screen as well as Filmfare.
