First look: Amitabh Bachchan flaunts 'family-pack' in Piku

First look of Amitabh Bachchan in Shoojit Sircar's Piku is out and knowing Big B's penchant for getting into the skin of a character, his first look is no surprise.

The superstar who plays Deepika Padukone's dad in the movie has grown his hair long and a big belly to look the part. The look is quirky yet adorable, somewhat similar to the shade and treatment of Piku.

Piku directed by Shoojit Sircar is a slice-of-life cinema. A quirky roller coaster ride of a crazy father-daughter relationship essayed by Amitabh and Deepika, along with Irrfan in a pivotal author-backed role.

Shoojit Sircar of Vicky Donor and Madras Cafe fame, is all praise for his three main leads.


"Piku is a story that will warm your heart and make you smile! We have the best of the talent coming together for a refreshing tale of a father-daughter relationship. I am privileged to direct Mr. Bachchan along with Deepika and Irrfan. They are three powerhouse performers and it doesn't get better than this for me," says the director.
The film is currently being shot in Kolkata. Besides Kolkata, the film will also be shot in Delhi and parts of Gujarat.

Produced by MSM Motion Pictures, in association with Saraswati Entertainment Creations Limited and Rising Sun Films, Piku also stars Bengali actors Moushumi Chatterjee and Jishu Sengupta.

It is slated for release on April 30th 2015.

Ali Zafar draws Amitabh Bachan BigB sketch live on TV

Ali Zafar draws Big B’s sketch live on TV


Pakistan’s heartthrob Ali Zafar has got veteran Bollywood actor and host Amitabh Bachan singing his praises, thanks to his sketching skills.

Ali , nowadays promoting his new Bollywood film also starring Parineeti Chopra, Ranveer Kapoor and Govinda, appeared in TV show ‘Kaun Bane Ga Karorepatti’ hosted by Mr.Bachan on Wednesday night  along with the other three film leads.

He presented the veteran actor with a sketch he made of him when he was aged just 13. Ali’s mother had kept it safe all these years. Upon receiving the sketch, Mr.Bachpan expressed his gratitude to Ali.

Bachchan then asked the multi-talented Ali to recreate a sketch of him, live on the show, and the result was a masterpiece nonetheless.

The crowd and Bachchan were amazed at his talent and the result was a big round of applause for Ali.

I have no words for the respect and warmth I received from the crowd and especially Mr.Bachchan,” said an emotional Ali. “I have grown up watching his films, singing songs of his films and used to sketch him when I was a child. I have been his fan all my life, but after seeing his energy and radiant personality, I have become his greatest fan. The way he hugged me thrice after hearing me sing and seeing the sketch was so heartwarming.”

With only five films across the border, Ali has not only managed to earn fans among the Indian audiences but also in the film fraternity.

A Yash Raj Films production, Kill Dil is directed by Shaad Ali and is slated to release on November 14.
