"Lots of cine goers missing the song at the end of the film. Theatre owners please do not cut it," Amitabh tweeted on Saturday night alongside a link to the song.

Amitabh has sung 'Badumbaaa' alongside veteran actor Rishi Kapoor. In an interview to DNA After Hrs, filmmaker Umesh Shukla revealed that Big B came up with the idea to do this song. He told us, "We were shooting on a terrace on the last day of the shoot and it started raining. While we were waiting for the skies to clear, Bachchan sir said he and Rishiji had many songs like Lambuji, Tinguji (Coolie), Chal Mere Bhai (Amar Akbar Anthony), so why can't they have a track in 102 Not Out? I told him there wasn't any scope as the screenplay was tight. When he said he would love to compose something, who can say no to Amitabh Bachchan? (smiles). He was clear about what he wanted, so he composed it, arranged the recording and even sang it. He wanted Rishiji to sing it too and convinced him."
While Amitabh Bachchan's character of 102 year old father wants to live life to the fullest in Umesh Shukla film, Rishi Kapoor plays the role of a son who lives a dull life, without much to look forward to.
'102 Not Out' is based on writer-director Saumya Joshi's successful Gujarati play by the same name.
