Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor’s father-son act is winning the Internet

After 26 years, Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor are working together in a film titled 102 Not Out. This time, they will star as father and son in a unique satirical take at generation gap.

With the release of the first look, of the film, it seems like Amitabh’s character is a fun loving person whereas Rishi’s character is more of an uptight one. Amitabh has used prosthetics to look like 102 years old man, and according to the filmmakers, Big B's character will be of a cute grandpa-next-door.

 

 

Rishi Kapoor tweeted on Thursday, “Wonderful to work again with the Legendary Amitabh Bachchan. Thank you Amitji, it never felt the 26 years old hiatus.We connected instantly!” 

The film will be directed by Umesh Shukla and the shooting has commenced in Mumbai. 102 Not Out is based on a hit Gujarati play by the same name. It is a story of 102-year old Dattaraya Vakharia who at his age continues to spin aspirations and dreams, while his cynical son the 75-year old son, Babu is cautious and pessimistic.
