Mumbai, Mar 25: Taking care of her ageing, cantankerous father Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone seems to constantly caught up in the pull and tug of their loving relationship as shown in the trailer that was released today. The father -daughter have their moments of getting on each other's nerves but stay true to their complete devotion to each other.
The trailer shows Deepika as a modern independent young lady who is juggling her career and her responsibilities towards her 90 year old father. Irrfan Khan who works with Deepika seems quite interested in her and helps her in her journey to take her father to Kolkata from Mumbai as per his wishes. He seems to endearingly bear the burden of their constant arguments and supports Deepika as best he can by at times intervening to make her father notice her efforts to make him comfortable.
Speaking about her character Deepika said, "Piku is someone who I relate with, a lot. In fact she is very relatable for all women. Women are born to multitask. The situations in the film, too, I guess are something every one of us will identify with." Amitabh Bachchan spoke of how the relationships portrayed in the film made him miss family as he worked on the sets.
Director Shoojit described the character of Piku as, "Piku is a girl like you, like any working person in a cosmopolitan city."
The launch of the trailer was very intelligently made with Deepika Padukone inviting journalists to bring along their parents along as the central concept of the film is a parent - child bond. The charming comedic family drama will be at theaters, nationwide, on the 8th of May, 2015.
