25
years
after
they
last
acted
together,
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Waheeda
Rehman
and
Rishi
Kapoor
would
be
reuniting
again.
After
Coolie
(1983),
they
would
be
seen
together
again
in
Dilli
6.
The
man
who
brings
them
together?
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra.
While
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Waheeda
a
Rehman
play
Abhishek
Bachchan's
grandparents
in
the
film,
Rishi
Kapoor
plays
his
surrogate
father.
Incidentally
Waheeda
Rahman
was
Amitabh's
real
mother
in
Coolie
while
being
Rishi's
surrogate
mother.
In
fact
after
playing
the
leading
lady
opposite
Big
B
in
films
like
Adalat,
Mahaan
and
Kabhie
Kabhie,
she
played
his
mother
in
films
like
Coolie
and
Trishul.
After
acting
with
Rishi
Kapoor
in
Coolie,
she
came
together
with
him
in
only
one
project
-
Chandni.
However,
in
the
film
the
two
were
not
related
as
she
played
mother
to
Vinod
Khanna,
film's
second
lead.
Now
in
Dilli
6,
one
waits
to
see
how
fireworks
explode
on
screen
once
the
trio
of
the
70s/80s
come
together
with
the
likes
of
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Sonam
Kapoor.
