The film where Deepika Padukone plays the title role for the first time also stars Irrfan Khan in a prominent role besides Big B himself. While Shoojit has much been into demand post Vicky Donor and Madras Cafe, he would hope Piku continues to carry his winning momentum. Predominantly shot in Kolkata, the film will finally open for the audiences in May.
