The 72-year-old actor took to the micro-blogging website to share that his official account on the digital platform was "hacked".

"WHOA !..My Twitter handle hacked! Sex sites planted as 'following'! Whoever did this, try someone else, buddy, I don't need this," the "Coolie" star tweeted on Monday.
