Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is all set to begin filming Shoojit Sircar’s Piku and says he is energised by the passion and intellect of the city.
The 72-year-old actor is portraying the role of an aged father in Piku.
The film explores relationship between Bachchan’s character and Deepika Padukone, who plays his daughter.
“In Piku land…!! Too many memories flashing by as the drive from the airport ends but so much more to come in the days ahead… Kolkata shall always hold a special place and space within.. A ‘city of joy’ that energises you with intellect and passion,” Bachchan posted on Twitter.
The first picture of Piku, which was recently released, shows Bachchan sporting a pot-bellied look. The film also stars Irrfan Khan.
