Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor are all set to play a father-son duo in Umesh Shul
Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor will be seen together after 26 years in Umesh Shukla's next. However, what makes this collaboration even more special is the fact that once-upon-a-time contemporaries will be seen playing a father-son duo in the film.

A unique satirical film that will take a jibe at the generation gap in the country, the film is tentatively titled as '102 Not Out'. Like his last two movies, 'OMG! Oh My God' and 'All Is Well', '102 Not Out' will to be based on a Gujarati play with the same title. The film will be scripted by Somya Joshi, who has scripted the play.

'102 Not Out' is the story of a 102-year old Dattaraya Vakharia, a man who despite his age, continues to spin aspirations and dreams. While his son, the 75-year-old Babu is more cynical and cautious by nature.

Talking about Big B's transformation to play a 102-year-old man, the actor will be using prosthetics for the part, while the same cannot be said about Rishi's role.

There were reports that Paresh Rawal was in talks for the son's part. However, the actor had to back out owing to his prior political commitments.

This is the first time that Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor, who have previously played brothers and contemporaries, will be seen playing father-son duo onscreen.
