Abhishek Bachchan shares touching memory involving daughter Aaradhya: ‘Bahut ho gaya, abhi aur nahi karna hai’

He connected this perspective to his character, Arjun, in I Want to Talk, explaining, “He is not afraid to ask for help. He is not afraid to go into the hospital. He is not giving up. Somebody who has dealt with the things that he has dealt with and continues to deal with, it’s very easy to be fed up after 31 odd years and say ‘bahut ho gaya hai, abhi aur nahi karna hai‘ (I’ve had enough, I don’t want to go on). But no, the fact that he is still at it, still trying… is what makes him truly courageous.”

I Want to Talk marks Abhishek’s first collaboration with Shoojit Sircar, one of Bollywood’s most admired contemporary filmmakers. Shoojit’s work, including his acclaimed collaborations with Amitabh Bachchan in Piku (2015) and Gulabo Sitabo (2020), has been celebrated widely. Notably, Amitabh earned his record-setting fourth National Film Award for Best Actor for his role in Piku.

I Want to Talk also stars Ahilya Bamroo, Johnny Lever, Jayant Kripalani, Pearle Dey and Kristin Goddard in key roles and will hit the screens on Friday. The screenplay and dialogues of the movie are written by Ritesh Shah, with Avik Mukhopadhyay handling cinematography and Chandrashekhar Prajapati editing. The film’s original score is composed by George Joseph and Koyna, while Taba Chake has crafted its OST and lyrics.

Though rumours have been rife that Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan’s marriage has hit a rough patch after 17 years together, neither has commented on these speculations, prompting questions about whether their silence reflects a deliberate choice to handle the matter with dignity or an outright dismissal of baseless gossip.
