A pot-bellied Amitabh Bachchan? Is that something you ever thought you’d see? Well prepare yourself, this is the Bollywood superstar’s latest look, released last Friday, for Piku, his latest film, in which he plays an aged father. (You didn’t think #BollyTalks was reporting on Amitabh’s actual figure, were you?)
Piku is based on a father-daughter relationship, and sees Deepika Padukone as his daughter. Amitabh took to his blog to apprise his fans of the ongoings of his shoot and said: “I see some cut and edited scenes from Piku with Shoojit as we discuss the next schedule in Kolkata, Delhi and Gujarat, a longish outdoor. Kolkata shall bring back old memories of my seven-year stint as an executive in a company. It shall bring back the films shot there.”
We await the look on-screen and are just as excited as Amitabh! The film also stars Irrfan Khan “in a pivotal role” and should be released around April, 2015.
