The first look of the yet-untitled film
It’s hard to shake off a haunting film like Sardar Udham (2021). Almost three years after the Vicky Kaushal-led period drama, filmmaker Shoojit Sircar has returned to his signature slice-of-life cinema. “This is on the lighter side,” he says of the yet-untitled film that marks his first collaboration with Abhishek Bachchan. Together, they tell the story of a father-daughter duo who rekindle their bond. The director, however, insists that the film is much more than its central theme. “It’s set outside of India. It’s a story about the central character, his relationships, and the ups and downs of his life.”
Be it Vicky Donor (2012) or Piku (2015), Sircar’s films capture the wonders of everyday life. Is his next, written by Ritesh Shah and him, along the same lines? “I love to do movies that deal with life and the humour in it. I’ve seen that humour in the people I have met, and in places like Delhi and Kolkata. There will always be a wry, humorous perspective in my movies. My characters are relatable as I draw a lot from real life; I don’t have any other source except my powers of observation.”
