first look of Amitabh Bachchan in Shoojit
Sircar's Piku is out and knowing Big B's
penchant for getting into the skin of a
character, his first look is no surprise.
The superstar who plays Deepika Padukone's
dad in the movie has grown his hair long and a
big belly to look the part. The look is quirky
yet adorable, somewhat similar to the shade
and treatment of Piku.
Check out his pic from the film's shoot here:
Piku directed by Shoojit Sircar is a slice-of-life
cinema. A quirky roller coaster ride of a crazy
father-daughter relationship essayed by
Amitabh and Deepika, along with Irrfan in a
pivotal author-backed role.
Shoojit Sircar of Vicky Donor and Madras Cafe
fame, is all praise for his three main leads.
"Piku is a story that will warm your heart and
make you smile! We have the best of the
talent coming together for a refreshing tale of
a father-daughter relationship. I am privileged
to direct Mr. Bachchan along with Deepika and
Irrfan. They are three powerhouse performers
and it doesn't get better than this for me,"
says the director.
The film is currently being shot in Kolkata.
Besides Kolkata, the film will also be shot in
Delhi and parts of Gujarat.
Produced by MSM Motion Pictures, in
association with Saraswati Entertainment
Creations Limited and Rising Sun Films, Piku
also stars Bengali actors Moushumi Chatterjee
and Jishu Sengupta.
