7 Hours Is What It Took For Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor to Get Into 102 Not Out Look

102 Not Out will see Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor sharing screen space after a gap of 27 years. In the film, Mr. Bachchan will be seen playing Rishi Kapoor’s father. Considering the fact that both the actors have to play their character more than their actual age, a lot of prosthetics and make up was used to make them look like their character’s age.

Director Umesh Shukla states that, it would take his ageing protagonists a staggering seven hours for make-up every day. This would be followed by six hours of shooting. He says, “Initially, I thought they would get irritated with the long-winded process but the make-up actually helped them emote and complemented their characters really well. Both Amitabh sir and Rishi ji would walk onto the sets at 5 am with a different kind of energy and we would commence shooting after lunch and go on till 6 pm. At times, the shoot extended to 9 pm. But that mostly happened when we were in the midst of shooting a scene and wanted to can it in one shift for the sake of continuity,” says Umesh adding that the film’s team shot for nine nights in the 45-day schedule in Mumbai.

He further adds that while Bachchan’s dentures were manageable, Kapoor’s bald cap was a cause of concern. “Rishi ji, who plays a 70-year-old character, would feel extremely hot in it. Whenever he removed it, and I am not exaggerating, it looked like he was sweating by the glass. He had to wear that cap for at least 12 hours every day,” he revealed.

The film has been written by Saumya Joshi (director of the eponymous Gujarati play on which the film is based) and directed by Umesh Shukla.

A Sony Pictures Releasing International Production and worldwide distribution- 102 Not Out is Produced by SPE Films India, Treetop Entertainment and Umesh Shukla’s Benchmark Pictures. The film releases worldwide on 4th May 2018

If roads in Delhi can be changed why not Congress assets/property ke naam? Was in Chandigarh wahan bhi Rajeev Gandhi assets? Socho? Why? We must name important assets of the country who have contributed to society. Har cheez Gandhi ke naam? I don’t agree. Sochna log!” , posted Rishi Kapoor in a criticizing tone.

Rishi Kapoor regrets working with Ranbir

Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor opened up lately with PTI about his feelings to have worked with wife Neetu Singh and son Ranbir Kapoor in Besharam. The senior actor completely regrets the move and the hasty decision taken by director Abhinav Kashyap, after his personal high with Dabangg.

Rishi-Ranbir-Kapoor

“It was bloody disappointing. Neetu, Ranbir and I are all sorry we did that film. When Abhinav approached us, I thought it would be an entertaining film but it went terribly wrong.

He was over confident, still high on the success of Dabangg. However if he comes up with a better script, maybe I’ll work with him again” said Rishi Kapoor while talking to PTI.

Besharam was a complete disaster, both in terms of content and the box office collections, making the critics and the fans wonder as it why it was even made. To think of that fact that someone like Rishi Kapoor and his whole family agreed to star in it sent in surprises with the analysts who thought it was a dangerous move particularly for Ranbir, who was soaring high with successes like Rockstar, Barfi and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.

Ranbir Kapoor had previously expressed that he wanted to do a trial run starring along with dad Rishi Kapoor through Besharam – the film was produced under Rishi’s own production banner Picture Shuru co-owned also by Anurag Basu.

Ranbir, who is currently shooting for Bombay Velvet directed by Anurag Kashyap will be seen in a completely different role this time. Anushka Sharma stars along with him for the first time on screen with this movie.
