Not counting the utterly irrelevant guest
appearance in Bachchan-bhakt R. Balki's Ki
& Ka last year, and that forgettable guest
appearance for Mr. Bachchan's makeup
man Deepak Sawant's Bhojpuri film
Ganga Devi, Amitabh Bachchan and his
better-half Jaya Bachchan have not been
seen together in a full-length feature film
since Yash Chopra's Silsila.
That's about to change. Shoojit Sircar who
directed Mr. Bachchan in the
memorable Piku and produced the life-
changing Pink is all set to bring the golden
couple of the 1970s together for a film on
autumnal togetherness.
Says a source close to the project, "It is the
story of a couple married for 40 years and
now sharing old age together. Both of them
are approaching their end. Their fear is not
death. Their fear is what happens if either
goes before the other?"
This poignant tale would bring together a
couple who in their heydays gave us
classics together such as
Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Abhimaan and Mili.

They forgot abt K3G where Amit Jaya were one of the 3 main couples? 😲

Shoojit makes good films so this one shd be good.

Oh Now I get it, this film is inspired by recent Bengali film BELASHESHEY where old couple Soumitra and his wife facing the same dilemna ...
husband worried that what will happen to his wife when he passes away, so he says he will divorce her just so that she can learn to be independant

I too think it might be remake of Bela Seshe.

Bela seshe roughly translates to "Autumn of Life"

Sounds good. AB shines in Shoojit's movies. And then Jaya is always +1 then him in acting. Looking forward to the trailer.
