It was Amitabh Bachchan who broke the news of Rishi Kapoor's death on Thursday morning. But the superstar maintained silence for the rest of the day on social media. He ultimately opened up and wrote a heartfelt tribute on his blog for his old friend and co-star of many years, Rishi Kapoor. 
 
The 77-year-old actor, alongside the note, shared an illustrational picture of Kapoor playing `Dafli`. The picture is a reference to the late icon`s famous song `Dafli Wale Dafli Baja` from the film `Sargam.` 
 
Sharing a few lines from his blog post as the caption, Bachchan wrote: "in Memoriam ...I had seen him at his home Deonar Cottage, Chembur, a young energetic, bubbly, mischief in his eyes Chintu, on those rare moments when I was privileged to have been invited to an evening at Raj ji`s house .." 
 
He recalled about the `confident and determined` walk Kapoor had, which Bachchan never found in anyone else. 
"When he spoke his lines, you believed every word of it .. there was never an alternative .. its genuineness was beyond question ..," the lines further read. 
 
He also wrote about how the late star during the time of his diagnosis and treatment would take it lightly and say, `see you soon, just a routine visit to the hospital .. I`ll be back shortly ` 
 
Bachchan also revealed why he never visited him in the hospital. 
 
"I never wanted to see distress on his smiling cherubic face...But I am certain .. when he went, he must have gone with a gentle smile." 
 
The two stalwarts had shared screen space several times, giving many blockbusters to Indian cinema like the iconic `Amar Akbar Anthony`. They were last seen playing father and son in '102 Not Out'. 
 
Here's the entire post by Big B.

"I had seen him at his home, Deonar Cottage, Chembur, a young energetic, bubbly, mischief in his eyes Chintu, on those rare moments when I was privileged to have been invited to an evening at Rajji's house. I would see him more often after, at RK Studios, when he trained as an actor for his film to be made, Bobby, a diligent enthusiastic youngster, ready to pounce onto every learning that came his way, in that famous large and legendary make up room of Rajji at the end of the first floor corridor of makeup rooms.

He had a walk that was confident and determined, a stride and style that was similar to that of his grandfather, the legendary Prithvi Rajji. A walk I had noticed in one of his earlier films, that walk... I never found it in any other.

We worked in several films together. When he spoke his lines, you believed every word of it. There was never an alternative, its genuineness was beyond question. And there has never been any other that could lip sync a song as perfectly as he would, never.

His playful attitude on set was infectious. Even in the most grave sequences he would discover that comedic spark and we would all just crack up. Not just on set, if you were with him at any formal event, he would find that little distractive light-hearted gem to expand on and lighten the situation.

When there was a time lapse as the shot got readied during a shoot, he would bring out his playing cards, or at times pull out his rather complicated Bagatelle board and invite others to play. A competition, not just for fun, a serious competition.

During his time of diagnosis and his treatment he never ever lamented his condition. It was always, 'see you soon, just a routine visit to the hospital, I'll be back shortly.'

Joie de vivre, the exuberant enjoyment of life, was a gene he inherited from his father, the Legend, the Ultimate Showman, the Iconic Raj Kapoor.

I never visited him in hospital, I never wanted to see distress on his smiling cherubic face. But I am certain, when he went, he must have gone with a gentle smile."

Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor was 67 and was suffering from leukemia for the last two years.

Amitabh Bachchan: If I have the strength and the body at the age of 102, I would wish to continue to act

On the day of release of his film “102 Not Out”, Amitabh Bachchan shared the song Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam -- rendition of the 60’s hit song by the same name that was originally sung by Geeta Dutt.&nbsp;

As the movie hits theatres today, the song that has continued to live in our hearts was given a new lease of life as Amitabh crooned the melodious number, packaging it for the new generation. The film directed by Umesh Shukla, has Amitabh playing a 102-year-old father to Rishi Kapoor’s 65-year-old character. Amitabh and Rishi will be seen together on screen after a gap of 27 years.

Parents will always look out for you. Whether you are 8 or 80, for them you are never quite adequate to do things on your own. A theme that is prevalent in Umesh Shukla's '102 Not Out.'&nbsp;

Based on Saumya Joshi's Gujarati play by the same name,&nbsp;102-year-old Dattareya Vakhariya lives in the moment and wants to outlive the oldest man in the world who died at 112. 'Only 16 years to go,'he declares to his 75-year-old son Babulal whose personality is a stark contrast from his father. Babulal is calculated man, who lives in the past, mopes too much and generally disapproves his father's way of living life. Which is why Dattareya decides to send his son to an old age home. When Babu resists, Datta agrees to let him stay provided he agrees to certain conditions and performs a few tasks as directed by Dattabhai.&nbsp;

Now, the trailer of the film promised a light-hearted comedy about an uncanny father-son duo. '102 Not Out' is that mostly but dwindles into a mildly melodramatic second half where a Baghban-ish plot comes into fore. That takes away the breezy, light moments which are in plenty in the first half and make you genuinely laugh.&nbsp;

To its credit, the film has two stupendous actors- Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor- playing the lead characters who take the film forward despite a lacklustre second half. Bachchan and Kapoor are stalwarts in their own right, having won accolades in the past for their films. The two are in top form as they perform to different characters with much ease. Its a delight to watch Big B and Kapoor on screen together after ages and they complement each other performances well.&nbsp;

It's because of these two actors that '102 Not Out' is enjoyable despite the flaws. One can ignore the annoying accent that Big B and Kapoor adapt in parts to appear Gujarati, one can even ignore the familiar story of a forgotten son and a neglected parent for these two actors. One can overlook the one-sided story of two old men wanting more in life as death knocks at their door - simply because Kapoor and Bachchan together deliver endearing performances.&nbsp;

'102 Not Out' is a film for the family but with a very familiar story that most of us have already seen on the big screen. It begins on a promising note but eventually is marred by predictability and some very melodramatic lines. It isn't as sharp as Umesh Shukla's 'OMG- Oh My God' either. But it's a film that you would perhaps enjoy on a Sunday with your family - it won't overwhelm you with its emotions, but it will make you enjoy the second innings of two stalwarts of Bollywood.&nbsp;

'102 Not Out': Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor are in top form; the story isn't

More than four decades after he made his debut with the blockbuster teen romance "Bobby", veteran actor Rishi Kapoor says he now has the freedom to explore his characters and is no longer bracketed in an image.&nbsp;

The actor, 65, who mostly played the romantic hero in his youth, has transitioned into strong character roles, be it the endearing school teacher of "Do Dooni Chaar", the merciless human trafficker of "Agneepath" or the cantankerous 70-year-old son of a centenarian father in his new film "102 Not Out".

"I always try to be different and play varied kind of characters. I am not stagnating in one kind of an image. I am an actor who is doing his job. I am not making a career for myself. What safe (roles) can character actors play? They don't matter at all," Kapoor told PTI.

<a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/entertainment-102-not-out-review-amitabh-bachchan-and-rishi-kapoor-are-in-top-form-the-story-isnt--134595">Also read: 102 Not Out review</a>

The actor believes content has become king in cinema today, which he says is a wonderful sign for both the industry and audience.

"Those hackneyed plots are not going to be accepted. It is a healthy thing that actors of my age are getting work today. I am not a young actor. People want to see different kind of films, they are fed up of seeing same formula.

"This is the era of actors now, non-actors are not going to survive. They maybe there for one or two films but if you are not competent enough you cannot survive," he added.

The actor says he will not sign a film if it does not offer something new and challenging.

"I want the role to excite me and I must feel passionate about doing the film. I will not do a run of the mill kind of a film or role. I will not say yes to that. Also, I will not do a film for money."

Kapoor has been a part of Hindi cinema for 45 years but his passion for films has only increased with years.

"I love my work. I am born and brought up into a family of cinema, family of actors. I only know how to act, I don't know anything else. I have been working for 45 years and I have done over 150 films. I am thankful to God that I get paid very much for what I love very much."

What intrigued Kapoor the most about Umesh Shukla directed "102 Not Out" is that the film is about a father-son relationship told in an entertaining way.

"It's a very different story about a 102-year-old man who has a 75-year-old son. I would imagine a son sending his father to old-age home, but here circumstances are such that the father wants to send his son to an old-age home," he said.

Kapoor says it is always a privilege to work with Amitabh Bachchan, who he has reunited with after 27 years.

"Mr Bachchan is a very loved and senior actor... He is the commanding superstar of our industry. And a wonderful actor and colleague to work with."

The two started working together more than 40 years ago with "Kabhi Kabhie" and the last film they did together "Ajooba" 27 years ago, he said.&nbsp;

Kapoor calls himself a "student of cinema" who is always learning something, be it from older or junior actors.

"I picked up lot of things when I worked with Amit ji. The way he romances his role, the way he flirts with his role and gets into the character that is something I observed.

"He lives the character when he is working in that film. It is tremendous. I appreciate that he gives so much of his best even at this age."

As Amitabh Bachchan gears up for the release of his upcoming film “<a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/watch-102-not-out-trailer-amitabh-bachchan-rishi-kapoor-are-fun-together-as-a-father-son-duo-126766">102 Not Out</a>” with Rishi Kapoor, he got candid about Bollywood films, the need to change and Hollywood influence in a country like India.&nbsp;

As the duo are currently on a promotional spree for the film, Amitabh in an interview with a leading daily spoke about how Hollywood has destroyed the local film industry wherever it has gone. He also asked people to not patronise Hollywood films when their movies release. This comes at a time when the recently released Marvel's&nbsp;film Avengers: Infinity War breaking all opening records for a film released this year. It has even performed&nbsp;<a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/entertainment-avengers-infinity-war-beats-padmaavat-with-rs-120-crore-collection-in-first-three-days-133766">better than 2018’s biggest hit film“</a><a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/entertainment-avengers-infinity-war-beats-padmaavat-with-rs-120-crore-collection-in-first-three-days-133766">Padmaavat</a><a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/entertainment-avengers-infinity-war-beats-padmaavat-with-rs-120-crore-collection-in-first-three-days-133766">”</a> on Indian turf.&nbsp;

He spoke about Bollywood films reinventing as everyone today is exposed to everything else that's coming from all corners of the world, which is at times in greater quality than ours.&nbsp;

Amitabh said, "This I was told in 1993 when I was on a casual visit to New York and I met some studios who were wanting to meet me and they told me, ‘You better get your house in order because India is the new frontier and Americans are coming.’ And everywhere Hollywood has gone, it has destroyed the local industry whether it’s England, Italy or Germany, they just come and take over. They have the money and the expertise. They have the quality and quantity. We are fighting against them."

He continued, “So, whenever their films come out, please don’t patronize them because we are fighting against an ogre of Hollywood from overtaking us and destroying our industry. I spent some time with these young filmmakers and they think so big and massive. They don’t have any doubts about how to do things. They tell me, ‘We will do this and that,’ and I ask them, ‘But how will you manage?’. They assure me they know how to do it."

The film “102 Not Out” will see Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor reunite on screen after 27 years as Amitabh plays 102-year-old father to 75-year-old son Rishi Kapoor.&nbsp;

Amitabh said it's important for movie buffs and Indian film industry insiders to stop Hollywood from taking over the domestic entertainment market. '102 Not Out' also stars Rishi Kapoor

New film '102 Not Out' coming, Amitabh says don't watch Hollywood movies

While a lot of Bollywood stars have expressed their anger on the Kathua case, megastar Amitabh Bachchan has maintained a stoic silence over the matter so far. But the actor&nbsp;recently broke his silence over the matter at an event recently and said&nbsp;he feels "disgusted" by it.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

When asked about his reaction, the 75-year-old star, who has been the face of 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' campaign, said it was painful to even talk about it. 
 
"Mujhe uss vishay par charcha karne mein ghin aati hai. So uss vishay ko uchhalo mat. It's terrible to even talk about it.&nbsp; 
 
"(I feel disgusted even talking about it. So, don't rake up this issue. It is terrible to even talk about it," Bachchan told reporters. 
 
The actor was speaking at the song launch of his upcoming film 102 Not Out, in which he stars along with Rishi Kapoor.&nbsp; 
 
Several Bollywood celebrities have reacted angrily over the incidents and have demanded justice for the victims of the Kathua, Unnao and Surat rape cases that have generated a massive outrage against the perpetrators. 
 
In Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir, an eight-year-old child from a minority nomadic community was allegedly held in captivity in a small village temple for a week in January this year during which she was kept sedated and sexually assaulted before being bludgeoned to death. 
 
The incident has sparked massive, countrywide outrage among people.&nbsp;
