In the promo shared by the makers, Big B can be seen telling the audience that the connection goes back to the Kapoor family.
He explained, ‘Sir, bahut log nahi jaante yeh hamare rishte mein hain. Raj Kapoorji ki beti Rituji ke bete Nikhil ka byah meri beti se hua.‘
He then brought Kareena Kapoor Khan into the conversation.
Kareena is the granddaughter of Raj Kapoor and is married to Saif Ali Khan.
Bachchan jokingly asked how he should address Kareena in view of their extended family connection. ‘Toh ab main jaanna chahta hoon ki yeh Kareena ko main kaise bulaoon? Kareena will call me what?’ Bachchan asked.
Before the family tree could get any more complicated, Saif broke into laughter and came up with a quick response: ‘Thank God, that’s not a question!’
