In this Hindu-Muslim love story, actor Rishi Kapoor plays a Hindu lawyer while Amitabh Bachchan will play a Muslim commissioner of police. If Big B decides to come on board, the two will be seen together on the big screen after a gap of 28 years. They last worked together in Coolie (1983). “I want to work with Amitji. Now it all depends on him,” says Kapoor.
