  Director Shoojit sircar is known for his mettle in directing Piku starring Big B, Deepika Padukone.

  

  Big B said, “Working with Amitabh Bachchan was fantastic. He is one of the legends of Indian cinema. People will see him in a new avatar in 'Piku', just like a new hero. He is the one who has always shown us a path. He knows how to challenge yourself at this age. He is brilliant to work with. He was like a child on set”.

  Sircar said, “'Vicky Donor' was absolutely below the belt comedy, but everybody understood it. Cinema is a medium which everybody understands. So, it's wrong to say that the mass will not understand 'Piku'.”

  He added, “The film is a family entertainer. People understood 'Vicky Donor' and they also understood many other films. They understand a Hrishikesh Mukherjee or a Raju (Rajkumar) Hirani film, even though Raju's films have strong messages with a quirk. So, we should not underestimate the masses' intelligence.”

  He told, “'Piku' is inspired from real life people. Every person can connect the film to himself and his family”.

  Sircar said, “Deepika and Irrfan look different and unique. They bring freshness to the story. That's the USP (unique selling point) of the film. The film is all about acting and they are in top form”.

  He added, “In the Indian film scenario, the topic of commercial cinema and arthouse cinema is gone. There is no term called art cinema now. The two have mingled up. Now whatever people like, they want to go and watch it.”

  He said, “I still don't know my side. I'm still discovering myself. I find that if there are insights in the film, if there is new dimension to the whole film, if the concept of a film strikes my heart and teaches me a lot of human values, philosophies of human life, then I pick it up”.
