Organizers said in a statement on Saturday the 67-year-old actor will accept the award in person at the annual prize ceremony on March 22. Bachchan has appeared in more than 100 movies in a career spanning four decades. His recent credits include "The Last Lear," "Sarkar Raj" and "Paa." Festival director Shaw Soo Wei said Bachchan left a mark on world cinema "with tremendous talent, a rigorous work ethic and an uncanny ability to reinvent himself." Organizers will also present Chinese director Zhang Yimou with an award for outstanding contributions to Asian cinema.
