Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor “102 Not Out” After 27 years

India’s top veteran actors, Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor will star in “102 Not Out,” a comedy about living life to the full. Sony Pictures International Productions India has boarded the film as co-producer and worldwide distributor.

Umesh Shukla (“OMG Oh My God!”) directs and co-produces through his Benchmark Pictures, alongside Treetop Entertainment and Sony.

The film is based on a Gujarati stage play by Saumya Joshi, about a father and son love story. Joshi wrote the adapted screenplay. “The idea of adapting (the play) 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,” said Shukla.

Not for the first time in his career, superstar Bachchan has to use prosthetics and makeup to significantly change his age – in 2009 comedy “Paa” Bachchan aged backwards. In “Not Out” he plays a 102-year-old man, father to a 75-year-old (Kapoor). The pair last performed together some 27 years ago in “Ajooba.”
