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.

Patralekhaa on bringing Savitribai Phule to life in a powerful new biopic

FROM her striking debut in CityLights to diverse and unconventional roles, Patralekhaa has carved a unique path as an actress across film and TV.

Unafraid of challenges, she has continually pushed herself as a performer with characters that demand depth, nuance and emotional honesty. She is also one half of a cinema power couple with her actor husband Rajkummar Rao, and both have motivated one another to cross creative horizons. The acclaimed actress adds to that diverse body of work with the new Bollywood biopic Phule, due to be released next Friday (25). She steps into the shoes of one of India’s greatest social reformers, Savitribai Phule, an experience she describes as both humbling and transformative. The important chapter of 19th-century history sees her portray India’s first female teacher, who, along with her husband Jyotiba Phule, played a vital role in improving women’s rights across the country.
