Piku Turns 8: Shoojit Sircar Sheds Light On His Love For Deepika Padukone As The Film Celebrates Its Anniversary!
Today marks the completion of 8 years since the release of the small, understated movie 'Piku,' which continues to be fondly recalled. The film, which examined the intricacies of a father-daughter relationship as they travelled to Kolkata, received positive reviews and went on to become another success in Deepika Padukone's career.
Although Deepika Padukone has starred in a number of high-profile films, audiences are most drawn to her in this straightforward, everyday role that many women in the nation are associated with. Deepika had to maintain the character as unadorned and authentic as she could because it didn't have any aids or crutches. Therefore, it is not surprising that the star is best known for playing the role 'Piku.'(Also Read: Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani Sequel: Ranbir Kapoor - Deepika Padukone Starrer Film In Works, Hints The Actor (Details Inside))
The fact that Deepika, who he calls 'one of his favourites,' starred in the movie made it more special to director Shoojit Sircar. When discussing his time working with her on the movie, Shoojit Sircar reveals, “Deepika is one of my favourites. Whenever my writers and I talk, we always think, ‘what can we do with Deepika’ because I’m so fond of her. It was a brilliant experience working with her. Frankly, while working on ‘Piku’, I saw the real actress and real creativity in her; and what she is as a soul. My revelation was that she is a simple, girl-next-door soul, despite having done many other films and potboilers.” (Also Read: Deepika Padukone TROLLED For Posting Oscars BTS Pictures On Alia Bhatt’s Met Gala Debut Day, Netizens Call Her ‘INSECURE’)
