New Delhi, Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar says his yet-untitled movie, like his previous films, starring Abhishek Bachchan is a story that looks at everyday life with a smile. Sircar, who has worked with megastar Amitabh Bachchan on multiple films including "Piku" and "Gulabo Sitabo" and "Pink", which he produced, has teamed up with his son Abhishek Bachchan for the first time. Set to release in theatres on November 15, the film will once again explore a father-daughter relationship, similar to 2015's "Piku".
It was a collaboration long in the making and is one of Abhishek Bachchan's finest works so far, he said. "It's a very simple observation of life with a little smile. When I watch the film, its post-production, it brings a smile .
And, I can guarantee that it is one of the finest of Abhishek Bachchan films. We always wanted to work together but we were not getting the right kind of script," the filmmaker told PTI in an interview. Asked about the long gap this time between his stories considering "Gulabo Sitabo" and "Sardar Udham" released on streamers during the pandemic, Sircar said he did not have a script.
"When I have a script and when I know that this script is ready to move on to the floor, that's when I do it. Because of the Covid and 'Gulabo Sitabo' and 'Sardar Udham Singh' releasing back-to-back, I didn't have the time to focus on a script," he said. The director said he normally takes a year and sometimes more to finalise a story.
His last big-screen release was 2018.
