Earlier, the duo was seen in movies like, Kabhi Kabhie (1976), Amar Akbar Anthony (1977), Naseeb (1981), Coolie (1983) and lastly in 1991's Ajooba.
With movies like Avengers: Infinity War already riding a wave on the Indian Box Office, and Alia Bhatt starrer Raazi hitting the screen on May 11, there cannot be a lot said about the box office collection of 102 Not Out. However, it is definitely a delight to see two of the biggest superstars of Bollywood – Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor – playing the role of father and son!
