Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone in Piku trailer
Actress Deepika Padukone, who will be seen sharing the screen space with megastar Amitabh Bachchan in Piku says their chemistry in the film is "very organic".
"In the years I have known Amitji outside work, our chemistry came to us very naturally. I remember him mentioning that I remind him of his daughter and he is also very protective about me. Our chemistry in the film is very organic," Deepika told reports during the film's trailer launch.
Directed by Shoojit Sircar and written by Juhi Chaturvedi, Piku stars Amitabh, Deepika and Irrfan in the lead roles.
However, the film also saw a very unusual promotion where parents were invited for the trailer launch and according to reports, it was Deepika's idea.
"Somewhere we have all contributed in whatever way possible. The film itself is a very personal journey of Piku and Baba. Its more than the story, it's about the characters. Even in terms of our communication, we have kept it as intimate and as personal as possible. We hope all of you liked the idea," she said.
Irrfan says all aspiring actors should observe Amitabh Bachchan's work.
"It was a great experience for me and if any actor wants to be an actor, they have to observe Big B and that's compulsory. He follows the director's vision obediently and is always playful. We all were emotional towards the end of the shoot of this film," he said.
Piku is set to release on May 8.
