The two worked together in films like 'Kabhie Kabhie', 'Amar Akbar Anthony' and 'Coolie', and they are reuniting for another project together.
64 year old Rishi took to Twitter to share the news about working with the ' Pink' star by sharing a photo of him.
He captioned the snap, "Always a pleasure and an honour to work with him. Started reading the script with the team. For further details ,stay tuned!!!"
The details of the project are yet to be revealed.
Interestingly Rishi had mentioned in his autobiography 'Khullam Khulla' early this year that the two actors did have rivalry in those days.
He was quoted - "I must admit that in those days there was an unspoken undercurrent of tension between Amitabh Bachchan and me. We never sat down to sort it out and luckily the strain evaporated on its own. It was only after we did Amar Akbar Anthony that the two of us got friendly with each other."
"…I must confess there is still a lingering issue I have with Amitabh Bachchan. A big disadvantage of working in an all-star movie in those days was that everybody only wanted to make action films, which automatically meant that the star who could carry off action with the most flair would get the meatiest part. That’s how, with the exception of Kabhi Kabhie, which was a romantic film, none of the multi-starrers I featured in had an author-backed role for me. Directors and writers unfailingly reserved their strongest, pivotal roles for Amitabh Bachchan. And it wasn’t just me. Shashi Kapoor, Shatrughan Sinha, Dharmendra, Vinod Khanna faced it too."
He did however also admit that "Amitabh is undeniably a superb actor, immensely talented and, at the time, the number one star who ruled the box-office. He was an action hero, the angry young man. So roles were written for him."
After all these years, getting to seem them back on screen together would be a treat for both their fans.
Currently, Amitabh Bachchan is busy in promotions of his upcoming movie ' Sarkar 3,' directed by Ram Gopal Varma, which is scheduled to be released on May 12.
