102 Not Out: Here's everything we know about Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor starrer

The teaser of Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor starrer 102 Not Out released on Friday, and it gave fans a glimpse of the unique bond shared by a father and son.

In the minute-long teaser of 102 Not Out, we see Bachchan as a father who is full of life, but Kapoor prefers to act his age."Apne bete ko vridh ashram bhejne waala main pehla baap banuga," Big B tells Kapoor in the teaser.


Here's everything we know about the film.

Plot:

The film is based on a Gujarati play of the same name. The story revolves around a 102-year-old, played by Bachchan, trying to break the oldest person record in the world. Kapoor essays the role of Bachchan's 75-year-old son.

Unusual love story:

The film is directed by Umesh Shukla, who said the film will explore the love between a parent and child.

"The idea of adapting it into a Hindi feature came from the fact that the relationship between a parent and a child is universal and the one where love supersedes everything else, including age! Amitabh Sir and Rishi Sir together are a dream cast for anyone," Shukla said, according to Variety.

Bachchan and Kapoor:

102 Not Out marks the on-screen reunion of Bachchan and Kapoor after 27 long years. The duo have shared screen space in Kabhie Kabhie (1976), Amar Akbar Anthony (1977), Naseeb (1981), Coolie (1983), and Ajooba (1991).

It will be interesting to see the pair together as Kapoor, in his book Khullam Khulla, had revealed that the duo shared a cold relationship in the past.

"I must admit that in those days there was an unspoken undercurrent of tension between Amitabh Bachchan and me," he wrote. "We never sat down to sort it out and luckily the strain evaporated on its own. It was only after we did Amar Akbar Anthony that the two of us got friendly with each other."

Release:

The film will release on May 4. The film also stars Paresh Rawal and Jimit Trivedi.

OpenAI limits ChatGPT’s image generation feature amid viral Ghibli image trend

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has announced temporary limitations on the company’s image generation feature in response to overwhelming demand driven by a viral trend. On Thursday, Altman addressed the impact of the popular Ghibli-style image trend on OpenAI’s resources, particularly its reliance on GPUs (graphics processing units). Altman revealed that the surge in demand for ChatGPT’s image generation tool has led to significant strain on the company’s infrastructure, prompting the introduction of temporary speed limits for users.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Altman shared the company’s response to the unexpected demand, stating, “It’s super fun seeing people love images in ChatGPT, but our GPUs are melting. We are going to temporarily introduce some rate limits while we work on making it more efficient. Hopefully won’t be long! ChatGPT free tier will get 3 generations per day soon.”

Aamir Khan auditioned for ‘Laapataa Ladies’ but lost the role: Video goes viral!

Aamir Khan’s attempt to play a small-town cop in Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies has sparked conversation among fans, thanks to a newly surfaced audition tape. The Bollywood star, who also produced the film, had initially hoped to take on the role of Sub-Inspector Shyam Manohar. However, director Kiran Rao ultimately chose Ravi Kishan for the part, a decision that many now agree was the right call.

The audition tape, shared on Aamir’s recently launched YouTube channel, Aamir Khan Talkies, shows the actor in a police uniform, chewing paan and trying out a rural accent. The video also includes bloopers, giving fans a insider view in to his efforts to embody the character. While Aamir is known for his dedication to roles, viewers were quick to point out that something felt off. Many felt his polished screen presence made him seem out of place as the rustic and rough-around-the-edges cop.
