Amitabh Bachchan will have an onscreen

102 Not Out. That's great news yes, but what's even more interesting is that the film casts Big B as a 102-year-old father while Mr Kapoor will feature as his 75-year-old son. The Bollywood veterans have already started shooting for the film and are being spotted on the streets of Mumbai dressed like their respective characters. On Monday, a white haired and bearded Big B was photographed amidst a bevy of cameras. Bespectacled, Mr Bachchan was dressed in a polo-neck tee and pants. However, Rishi Kapoor was not spotted with Big B yesterday.
