Abhishek Bachchan to star in Shoojit Sircar’s next: Reports

Actor Abhishek Bachchan will be starring in Shoojit Sircar’s next film. Although the film’s title and its plot have been kept under wraps, the director stated in an interview that it will be an “emotional, slice-of-life film.”

The film will be backed by Sircar’s production house, Rising Sun Films, and recently wrapped up shooting primarily in the USA, as per reports. In an interview with The Quint, Sircar said, “It’s another emotional, slice-of-life film. My stories are always related to life and they have humour in them. I have always tried to experiment with different genres, keeping the journey of life as the main theme. I am collaborating with Abhishek Bachchan for my next film. I will take you on a mundane, ordinary man’s journey.”

The director also shared his aspiration to connect with global audiences. He said, “My aim with all my films is to reach audiences worldwide. My latest work continues this mission by delving into the life of an ordinary man embarking on an extraordinary journey, bringing smiles along the way.”

This will be the first time Sircar will be collaborating with Abhishek Bachchan. The director has previously worked with the actor’s father Amitabh Bachchan on Piku (2015) and Gulabo Sitabo (2020).
