Yes this is true! Not only will we hear the majestic baritone of Amitabh Bachchan as he sings for Badumbaaa in Umesh Shukla’s upcoming film 102 Not Out, but his co-star Rishi Kapoor too will be heard crooning for the first time in his career. Kapoor along with Amitabh Bachchan will be singing the song Badumbaaa which is a fun, lively foot tapping number that has even been composed by Bachchan.
During the last day of the shoot, the team was having a discussion about how 102 Not Out should also have a song featuring both the actors. Amitabh Bachchan instantly gave a nod to the idea and even said he would compose the song himself. When Umesh Shukla, the director approached Rishiji to sing the song, though the actor was apprehensive he said that he would like to do rehearsals first and then sing. Talking about it, Umesh says, “When Rishiji came to the recording studio, he did the first rehearsal and after the first rehearsal itself he was himself surprised to discover his singing talent. We did not have to do many retakes as his first one was perfect.”
Ageless comedy
102 Not Out is an ageless comedy that brings together Indian Cinema’s two biggest stalwarts – Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor after 27 years, with the two legends playing father-son duo for the first time.
102 years young Dattatraya Vakharia (Amitabh Bachchan) lives life to the fullest and wants to break the record of oldest living man – that’s held by a 118 years old Chinese. Dattatraya wants to live a stress free life in order to become the oldest living man. However, there is only one hindrance – his 75 year old son Babulal (Rishi Kapoor) who has resigned himself to a life of old age stuck in drudgery. Dattatraya now must find means and ways to change Babulal’s sad and grumpy demeanour so that he doesn’t become a deterrent in breaking the record. Little do they realise that this roller coaster ride filled with comedy, emotion and commotion, will change them and their relationship forever.
