It has been 10 years since, one of the greatest casts, Deepika Padukone. Amitabh Bachchan and Irrfan Khan, went on their road trip in Shoojit Sircar’s Piku… can you believe it? To celebrate this special release-aversary the hit rave reviewed Piku will hit the big screen once again on May 9th.
Earlier in an interview right before the release, Deepika shared with us why she decide to be a part of Piku, “The script. You know it’s not a film that only I identify with. I think every woman is going to identify with that character, with that part. I am with the film because we all are working women, we all multi-task, we all try and balance our lives between our work, our relationships, our families, friends, social obligations, trying to find time for ourselves; there is so much that a woman does. I think a woman always multi-tasks beautifully. And it is also a very quirky take on a father and daughter’s relationship. The film is called Piku because it is her world, her life, it’s her journey and all these various aspects of her life. And the main thing it also talks about is constipation. She’s living with her father who is constantly irritable because he is at this age now where he’s always sick and he’s constipated. And the film talks about that too. But it also told in a very very entertaining manner without it being gimmicky or caricature-ish.”
Deepika announced the re-release on her social media, calling Piku a film that “is always close to my heart”. The cool post showcases Amitabh Bachchan talking about Piku and plus glimpses into the film and more! Check it out.
