Veteran
actors
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Rishi
Kapooragreed
to
do
"102
Not
Out"
soon
after
the
narration
of
the
script,
says
director
Umesh
Shukla.
Billed
as
the
most
unusual
father-son
story,
102
Not
Out
is
based
on
playwright
Saumya
Joshi's
popular
Gujarati
play
of
the
same
name.
"When
we
narrated
the
idea
to
both
of
them,
they
said
okay
to
the
script
within
10
minutes.
Once
they
knew
the
essence
is
so
good,
beautiful
and
playful,
also
with
lot
of
depth
and
emotions,
they
liked
it
all," Shukla
told
PTI.
The
upcoming
comedy-drama
reunites
the
powerhouse
performers
on
screen
after
27
years.
The
two
actors
have
earlier
appeared
together
in
films
such
as
"Kabhie
Kabhie",
"Amar
Akbar
Anthony",
"Naseeb",
"Coolie" and
"Ajooba".
"Their
chemistry
was
great.
They
both
were
very
comfortable
with
each
other," Shukla
says.
In
the
trailer,
Bachchan
is
seen
as
a
fun-loving
friendly
father,
while
Kapoor
appears
as
an
boring
son.
"In
personal
life,
Chintuji
(Kapoor)
is
quite
reserved
and
Bachchan
sir
is
very
jovial.
Both
are
fun
loving
persons,"
he
says.
The
"Oh
My
God"
director
says
the
team
did
extensive
research
on
getting
the
look
right
for
the
two
actors.
"A
lot
of
references
came
from
the
kind
of
clothes
Gujarati
people
wear
and
their
appearance,
body
language,
the
way
they
talk,
accent,"
Shukla
says.
The
film
features
Bachchan
as
a
102-year-old
man
and
Kapoor
will
play
his
75-year-old
son.
"I
want
to
tell
the
audience
-
live
life
to
the
fullest
and
deal
with
problems
as
and
when
they
come.
At
the
age
of
80,
you
can
live
like
a
20-year-old
and
vice
versa.
At
any
age
you
can
be
a
happy
person,"
Shukla
says.
"102
Not
Out"
is
presented
by
Sony
Pictures
Releasing
International,
in
association
with
Treetop
Entertainment
and
Benchmark
Pictures.
The
film,
set

release
on
May
4,
is
produced
by

India
and
