‘I wanted to do a film like Piku’: Irrfan Khan

Irrfan Khan says that he always wanted to do a film like Piku, which had a combination of romance and comedy. "It is a very entertaining and engaging film and love is a very important part of this story. It was Shoojit's trust in me that he gave me a romantic lead. I was longing to do something like this. I also wanted to do comedy. Coincidentally, I got both these elements in Piku", said the 48-year-old actor.

Recalling a particular sequence involving Deepika Padukone, the actor said, "We were shooting on the Gujarat highway and we were in the car. The director and actor can talk very little because there is urgency in such scenes. In this scene, which is very small, I have to give her a look and say something because we have been travelling for a long time. It is just a look but so beautiful. Shoojit was emotional after seeing it".

The movie, which is slated for release on May 8, features Irrfan Khan, Deepika Paukone and Amitabh Bachchan in the lead roles. Irrfan was grateful to work with the legendary Amitabh Bachchan at last, he shared, "Bachchan saab is Bachchan saab. I have been offered roles with him earlier but nothing materialised so when you get a chance to work with him, you want to make it as memorable as possible. It was exciting to be with all the actors be it Deepika or Moushumi Chatterjee. It was very engaging".
