Piku – “It’s My Pet Name” says Deepika.
After impressing audiences
with her glamour and acting in Ramleela, Deepika is all set to come back with
Piku, which is going to hit screens on May 8th. Directed by Sujith
Sarkar, Piku is a story between a father and daughter and their bonding.
Talking about Piku, Deepika shares the way Sujith Sarkar portrayed her role,
and her experiences with actors like Amitabh Bachan, and Irfan Khan.
Deepika says “Piku – It’s
my pet name in the movie. In this movie, I played the role of a girl, who was
born in Kolkata, and brought up in Delhi, so I am Modern Girl. Amitabh Bacchan
played the role of my dad. He too has a
pet name in the movie! That is Baba. He calls me Piku and I call him Baba. The highlights of this film are the scenes in
which we both acted together. Even
though the story runs in Delhi, it is the story that happens in every house of
our country. I did act with Amitabhji in Arakshan, but only when acting with him
together in Piku, I realized how great actor he is. He mingles with everyone easily in the sets. Every experience that I have gone through
working with him in this movie will be helpful for my career. Coming to Irfan Khan, this is my first time to
act with him. He becomes a powerhouse
when he comes before camera. Sujith
Sarkar has already proved what he is with the movie, “Vicky Donor.” He adds up humour to sensitive issues very
well. I didn’t listen to the entire plot
of Piku, Sujith narrated me one scene and I just said ok to the project. That
is the confidence I have in him. There
is a lot of difference between real-life Deepika and Piku. Because I was
brought up in South India and in the movie I acted as a North Indian girl. Of
course I did take care of my dressing, bindi and Sujith was surprised on the
first day of shooting and said “yes my Piku should look exactly like this”.
