Shoojit is currently working on
his next, titled Piku, that revolves around a father-daughter relationship. While
Amitabh Bachchan plays the father, Deepika will
be his daughter in the film. Although
Irrfan’s role — that of Deepika’s love interest — hasn’t been spoken
about much, an insider reveals that he does have a substantial part in it.
We tried reaching
Shoojit, but he remained unavailable for a comment. A source close to the
Madras Café (2013) director says, "He is in the script discussion stage
with Bachchan sir at the moment. He will only talk about the film once things
are finalised." The film is expected to go on the floors later this year. Incidentally,
this is the second film that Shoojit and Bachchan will do together. They have
previously worked on a movie titled Johnny Mastana that never released due to a
legal tangle.
