The father-daughter scenes in the film by Shoojit Sircar made Abhishek emotional; director said “Uski bhi beti hai.”

Shoojit Sircar’s latest film based on a real-life story, “I Want To Talk” starring Abhishek Bachchan is running in theatres. It revolves around a cancer survivor’s relationship with his daughter. In the film, Abhishek’s character is separated from his wife, who co-parent their daughter. Shoojit Sircar, the film’s director recently opened upon instances on set, while talking to Siddharth Kannan in an interview.

“Abhishek would get emotional while filming father-daughter scenes.”

Shoojit Sircar said that Abhishek would get emotional while shooting the slice-of-life drama, mentioning, “Bahut (a lot). Because he’s a father. There are many scenes he was emotional. Meri bhi beti hai, uski bhi beti hai. Kahin na kahin wo toh reflect karega na uske kaam mein. Jab wo dekh raha hai ye meri beti hai, ghar pe bhi meri beti hai, kahin na kahin toh coexistence hoga na. (I have a daughter, he also has one. Somewhere that would reflect in his work. There’ll be a coexistence if it strikes him that this is my daughter, and I also have a daughter back home). He would relate. I know sometimes he won’t tell me, but I know he’s affected. Sachchai hai na film mein, wo hua hai na kisi ke sath (There’s truth in the movie, it’s happened with someone).”

I Want To Talk, co-written by Shoojit and Ritesh Shah is based on the real-life story of Arjun Das, a cancer survivor, who has a bittersweet relationship with his estranged daughter.
