Deepika Padukone shares BTS pictures on Eighth anniversary
Actress Deepika Padukone has shared some heartwarming behind-the-scenes photos from the sets of the 2015 film “Piku” on its eighth anniversary. She also took a moment to remember her late co-star Irrfan Khan, who played a pivotal role in the movie.
The film, directed by Shoojit Sircar and written by Juhi Chaturvedi, revolves around a father-daughter relationship, with Amitabh Bachchan playing the role of Deepika Padukone’s father and Irrfan Khan as a taxi company owner. The movie became a commercial success, receiving three National Awards, and is still considered one of the best Bollywood films of all time.
In the post shared on her Instagram account, Deepika Padukone expressed her love and gratitude towards her co-stars and the entire team that made the film possible. She wrote, “It’s been 8 years since this gem of a movie released with these 2 very special people. And if I could relive this experience all over again, I’d do it in a heartbeat. @Irrfan, I miss you! @Amitabh Bachchan, @Shoojit Sircar and @Juhi Chaturvedi. I love you. To everyone who made this film possible, thank you for your energy. #Piku.”
The emotional post struck a chord with fans, who took to the comments section to praise the film and the actors’ performances. One fan commented, “One of the best movies I’ve seen, rewatched it recently, really miss Irfan Khan on screen.” Another fan wrote, “Forever a comfort film and Piku will always be my twin flame.”
The film’s plot emphasizes the importance of family and the responsibility of children towards their parents. In the movie, Deepika Padukone’s character Piku struggles to balance her work and personal life while taking care of her aging father, played by Amitabh Bachchan. The film depicts how, as parents age, they become dependent on their children and how children, in turn, must prioritize their parents’ needs.
The film’s unique blend of comedy and drama was praised by critics and audiences alike. The performances by the lead actors were widely appreciated, with Amitabh Bachchan delivering a heartwarming performance as a stubborn yet loving father, and Irrfan Khan stealing the show with his witty one-liners and effortless acting. Deepika Padukone’s portrayal of a modern, independent woman who struggles to balance her responsibilities towards her family and her career was also appreciated by the audience.
The movie’s success lies in its ability to resonate with audiences across all age groups and cultures. The film’s depiction of a father-daughter relationship is relatable to anyone who has experienced the complexities of family dynamics. The movie’s central message, that parents are not a burden but a responsibility, struck a chord with audiences and reinforced the importance of family values.
On the professional front, Deepika Padukone is currently busy shooting for her upcoming film “Project K” with Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan. The movie, directed by Nag Ashwin, is a multilingual science-fiction movie and is one of the most anticipated releases of the year.
