Actor Abhishek Bachchan says Shoojit Sircar’s films are like “a breath of fresh air” from what is often made in the Hindi film industry and working with the director on the upcoming movie “I Want To Talk” was a transformative experience.
Produced by Rising Sun Films and Kino Works, the slice-of-life drama is set to hit the screens worldwide on November 22.
Bachchan was all praise for Sircar, known for films such as “Vicky Donor”, “Piku”, “October”, and “Sardar Udham”.
“Shoojit da represents a cinema that is so very different from what we make in the Hindi film industry and that’s a breath of fresh air. It’s nice once in a while to pause, take a breath and just feel something instead of just being dictated to all the time…
“The experience of making a film with him is very transformative, not just physically… It’s been a learning experience, life changing,” the actor told reporters at the movie’s music launch on Wednesday in Mumbai.
In the film, Bachchan plays Arjun, who is on the cusp of a life-altering surgery as he navigates a complex relationship with his daughter.
