Umesh Shukla of 'All Is Well' fame is currently working on his next, featuring Amitabh Bachchan as an 102 year old and Rishi Kapoor, as his 75 year old son. “Amitji and Rishiji are collaborating after 26 years. They are playing Gujarati characters for the first time. Being a Gujarati myself, I had certain references in my mind which we used to create their look,” Shukla said. Based on writer-director Saumya Joshi's successful Gujarati play by the same name, shooting for the film has already begun with Bachchan's introductory sequence.
“I had produced the original play and knew it could be turned into a film for its unique plot and humour. Saumya has written the story brilliantly.” Both the actors will speak a few lines in Gujarati in the film. “They are already good with the language and have a tutor on the set to guide them. All of us are having a blast,” Umesh said.
