Amitabh Bachchan's '102 Not Out' to roll in 2017!

It’s a film that has been on hold for some, But now Umesh Shukla is claiming that 102 Not Out, his next, will begin shooting by February next year and will star Amitabh Bachchan and Paresh Rawal in the lead roles. Based on the Gujarati play of the same name, written by Saumya Joshi, it follows the release of Shukla’s All The Best.

Says a source, “The script of 102 Not Out was being re-worked on, but is now finally complete. Shooting was to begin mid-2016, but it didn’t happen. And with Big B busy shooting for Sarkar 3 this year-end, it got pushed further ahead. Buzz is that the film has been shelved as both Bachchan and Paresh are now busy with their respective films.”

However Umesh insists that the film goes on floors February 2017. “We have locked the script. We plan to have makeup artists from Hollywood and also Vikram Gaikwad to do Amitabhji’s makeup and asked them for references. I have also spoken to Balki as Amitabhji’s makeup in Paa was done so well. My message about the film is that it has nothing to with age, it’s all about how old or young you really feel at heart.”
