‘Sometimes
we
regret
we
didn’t
communicate,
we
didn’t
talk
our
heart
out.’
‘This
film
speaks
about
all
those
moments.’
‘It’s
all
moments
stitched
together
of
your
entire
life.’
Abhishek
Bachchan
in
I
Want
To
Talk.
“Shoojitda
(Sircar,
Director)
represents
a
cinema
that
is
so
different
from
what
we
make
in
the
Hindi
film
industry,
that
it’s
a
breath
of
fresh
air.
It’s
nice
once
in
a
while
to
pause,
take
a
breath
and
just
feel
something
instead
of
just
being
dictated
to
all
the
time,”
Abhishek
Bachchan
says
of
the
director
of
his
new
film,
I
Want
To
Talk.
“The
experience
of
making
a
film
with
him
is
very
transformative,
not
just
physically.
It’s
been
a
learning
experience,
life
changing,”
he
adds.
In
the
film,
Bachchan
plays
Arjun
who
is
on
the
cusp
of
life-altering
surgery
as
he
navigates
a
complex
relationship
with
his
daughter.
Sircar
said
I
Want
To
Talk
is
based
on
a
friend’s
life
story.
“This
is
a
slice-of-life
film
where
relationships
matter,”
Shootjit
says.
“Sometimes
we
regret
we
didn’t
communicate,
we
didn’t
talk
our
heart
out.
This
film
speaks
about
all
those
moments
and
the
journey
of
the
characters.
It’s
all
moments
stitched
together
of
your
entire
life
and
documented
in
I
Want
To
Talk.”
All
movies,
Abhishek
says,
should
be
an
emotional
challenge
for
an
actor
regardless
of
the
subject
matter.
“It
should
push
you,
challenge
you,
give
you
sleepless
nights.
As
artists,
you
need
to
push
your
boundaries.
You
need
to
try
something
that
you
haven’t
done
before.
It
(this
film)
has
been
a
challenge,
but
a
challenge
that
I
enjoyed
doing,”
he
says.
His
greatest
takeaway
from
I
Want
To
Talk
was
to
be
“fear
free”
and
“do
something
different”.
“It
reassures
you
as
an
actor
that
there’s
a
little
bit
of
space
for
everybody
out
there.
I
hope
you
all
can
find
some
sort
of
parallel
in
your
own
life
(in
this
film).
We’re
all
stuck
in
the
rut
of
life,
we’re
doing
what
we’re
doing,
we’re
enjoying.
Some
of
us
have
got
corporate
jobs,
some
of
us
are
artists,
some
of
us
do
whatever
we
do,”
Abhishek
says.
“Life
dictates
to
you
what
you
should
be
doing
and
how
you
should
be
doing
it.
What’s
nice
about
doing
a
film
like
this
with
Shoojitda
is
that
once
in
a
while,
you
can
stop
and
say
‘Hey,
no,
I
can
do
something
different,
maybe
I
should
try
something
different’.
When
that
works
out
for
you,
there’s
nothing
more
rewarding.
“Whatever
you
do
in
life
should
be
memorable.
The
success
and
failure
of
any
endeavour
in
life,
be
it
business,
sports,
films,
is
not
in
your
hands.
What’s
in
your
hands
is
the
memory
associated
with
whatever
you’re
doing.
This
film
is
way
on
the
top
of
my
filmography,”
he
adds.
Bachchan,
48,
gained
weight
for
the
role
of
Arjun.
“I’m
not
in
this
shape
anymore.
That
is
me
and
there
isn’t
any
prosthetic,”
he
said
about
his
look
in
the
film’s
poster.
“Don’t
ever
put
on
weight
for
a
film
again.
Trust
me,
at
my
age,
it
gets
very
difficult
to
lose
it
after
a
while,”
he
quipped.
I
Want
To
Talk
also
stars
Johnny
Lever
and
Ahilya
Bamroo,
and
will
release
on
November
22.
