Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Piku Movie’ Set For Global Release

 MSM Motion Pictures and Yash Raj Films come together for Shoojit Sircar’s ‘Piku’

Mumbai : MSM Motion Pictures, a division of Multi Screen Media Pvt Ltd. has partnered with India’s leading film production company, Yash Raj Films for the worldwide theatrical distribution of their upcoming family comedy drama, ‘Piku’.

The move further strengthens the 20 year association between the two companies. YRF’s distribution network will not only take ‘Piku’ to just domestic audiences but will also tend to non-traditional markets globally.

Directed by Shoojit Sircar, the film is a quirky take on father daughter relationship. It brings Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Irrfan Khan together for the first time.

Amitabh takes on the role of a father in this film which is believed to be a 'different' take on the relationship a father shares with his daughter. The charisma of Amitabh, seamless acting of Deepika with the versatile flair of Irrfan Khan and the evergreen Moushami Chaterjee will definitely make ‘Piku’ a must-watch film.

Deepika Padukone has been addressing Amitabh Bachchan as Baba (father) for a while now. The two actors are currently shooting for Shoojit Sircar’s upcoming film, Piku, in which Big B and Deepika play father and daughter respectively.

Apparently, not only Deepika, but also the other members of the cast and crew of the film, including Irrfan Khan, call him Baba now. "Bachchan sir likes the way Deepika and the others address him as Baba," says a source from the film’s unit.

So, to reciprocate the gesture, Big B has coined a nickname for Deepika too. "He calls her Deepiku, nobody else addresses her by that name," adds the source.

"The way they address each other, on and off the sets, shows the comfortable relationship they share," says Juhi Chaturvedi, the writer of the film, which has been shot in Kolkata and will see Bachchan and Deepika play Bengali characters.
