Abhishek Bachchan’s first look from Shoojit Sircar’s I Want To Talk was unveiled by the him on Friday. Written by Ritesh Shah, the film also stars Pearle Day, Ahilya Bamroo, Jayant Kripalani, Kristin Goddard and Johnny Lever in pivotal roles.
In the poster, Abhishek is wearing a bath robe and has an almost-irritated look on his face. There are some marks on his stomach and his hand seems be injured. In the caption, he wrote, “Bolne ke liye toh bohot kuch hai (there are too many things to say) but then, a picture ‘talks’ a thousand words.”
Earlier, a teaser was unveiled which had a voice over of Abhishek saying, “I don't just love to talk, I live to talk. That's the only difference between the living and the dead, the dead can't talk."
I Want To Talk marks the first collaboration between Abhishek and Shoojit. The latter has frequently teamed up with Abhishek's father, superstar Amitabh Bachchan, on films like Piku and Gulabo Sitabo. Shoojit's last film was the biographical-drama Sardar Udham (2022)
Earlier, talking about I Want To Talk with PTI, the director had said, "It's a very simple observation of life with a little smile. When I watch the film, its post-production, it brings a smile (to my face). And, I can guarantee that it is one of the finest of Abhishek Bachchan films. We always wanted to work together but we were not getting the right kind of script."
Produced by Ronnie Lahiri and Sheel Kumar, I Want To Talk will release in theatres on November 22.
