Mumbai (Mahrashtra), May 11 (ANI): Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor’s recent film, ‘102 Not Out’ has recently faced criticism because the actors did not carry a Gujarati accent in their stories, although the film was based on a Gujarati play. At a press conference in Mumbai, Amitabh Bachchan asked a Gujarati woman to say something about the film. He cut her in the mid way and said,” Now tell me, for nearly three minutes, a Gujarati was speaking in Hindi and English. Did you find anything different in her accent? Then why do you pressurise us to use Gujarati accent? ‘102 Not Out’ caters to a pan India audience, so we decided to stick to a normal accent.”
