102 Not Out: Here's everything we know about Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor starrer

The teaser of Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor starrer 102 Not Out released on Friday, and it gave fans a glimpse of the unique bond shared by a father and son.

In the minute-long teaser of 102 Not Out, we see Bachchan as a father who is full of life, but Kapoor prefers to act his age."Apne bete ko vridh ashram bhejne waala main pehla baap banuga," Big B tells Kapoor in the teaser.


Here's everything we know about the film.

Plot:

The film is based on a Gujarati play of the same name. The story revolves around a 102-year-old, played by Bachchan, trying to break the oldest person record in the world. Kapoor essays the role of Bachchan's 75-year-old son.

Unusual love story:

The film is directed by Umesh Shukla, who said the film will explore the love between a parent and child.

"The idea of adapting it into a Hindi feature came from the fact that the relationship between a parent and a child is universal and the one where love supersedes everything else, including age! Amitabh Sir and Rishi Sir together are a dream cast for anyone," Shukla said, according to Variety.

Bachchan and Kapoor:

102 Not Out marks the on-screen reunion of Bachchan and Kapoor after 27 long years. The duo have shared screen space in Kabhie Kabhie (1976), Amar Akbar Anthony (1977), Naseeb (1981), Coolie (1983), and Ajooba (1991).

It will be interesting to see the pair together as Kapoor, in his book Khullam Khulla, had revealed that the duo shared a cold relationship in the past.

"I must admit that in those days there was an unspoken undercurrent of tension between Amitabh Bachchan and me," he wrote. "We never sat down to sort it out and luckily the strain evaporated on its own. It was only after we did Amar Akbar Anthony that the two of us got friendly with each other."

Release:

The film will release on May 4. The film also stars Paresh Rawal and Jimit Trivedi.

Twix TV advert banned in UK for promoting unsafe driving

A television advert for the chocolate bar Twix has been banned in the UK by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) after it was found to promote unsafe driving. The advert, produced by Mars-Wrigley, featured a high-speed car chase involving two identical caramel-coloured cars, which ends in a crash with one vehicle stacked on top of the other, resembling a Twix bar.

Complaints raise driving safety concerns

The ASA received five complaints, with viewers arguing that the advert encouraged dangerous and irresponsible driving. Mars-Wrigley defended the campaign, describing it as having a “cinematic presentation” set in a “fantastical and absurd” world. Clearcast, the body that approves ads for broadcast, supported this view.

BBC releases Sidhu Moose Wala documentary 'The Killing Call' on YouTube despite legal plea from singer’s father

The BBC World Service has released a two-part documentary on Sidhu Moose Wala, the late Punjabi singer who was shot dead in 2022, despite his father's legal attempts to halt the release. Titled The Killing Call, the documentary went live on YouTube on 11 June, Moose Wala’s birth anniversary, just a day before a scheduled court hearing in Punjab on the matter.

Balkaur Singh, the singer’s father, had approached a Mansa court seeking a stay on the screening. He claimed that the BBC’s release was done without the family’s consent and that the documentary could interfere with the ongoing investigation into his son’s murder. His petition is set to be heard on 12 June. Despite the ongoing legal challenge, the broadcaster proceeded with the online release.
