He also added that he had seen purity in Jaya Bachchan's roles in films like 'Mahanagar' and 'Abimaan',and that was also evident in Abhishek.He told the publication, “Everyone talks about how much he is like his father, but I saw a lot of Jaya di, especially in his eyes, his mannerisms, and just the way he talks. We have seen Jaya di in films like Mahanagar or Abhimaan... how pure she was. I saw that same purity in Abhishek. His eyes spoke to me."
Abhishek Amitabh's acting process
Talking about the different processes of acting for both of them, Shoojit shed light on their working process. He said, "With Bachchan sir, he likes to rehearse a lot, for hours.But abhishek likes to hang around on set, grasp everything, and go over the script repeatedly. For this film, however, he was so simple and disciplined. He surrendered himself completely to becoming Arjun. You won’t see anything else in the film. Even on set, he was the character."Shoojit also added that Abhishek'spersonal life as a 'girl dad' also resonated with the film 'I Want To Talk'. He said, "He has a beautiful relationship with his daughter Aaradhya, and I think that connected him to the story.”
Speaking about Abhishek's commitment to the role, Shoojit said, "He bared himself for this film. He even showed me his physique and said he could eat more if I needed him to have a bigger paunch. What you see on the poster is all real.”
Meanwhile, ‘I Want To Talk’ was released in theatres on Friday, november 22, 2024.
