The father-daughter relationship is really special: Shoojit Sircar on his new movie

Shoojit Sircar has previously directed Piku starring Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone. The 2015 film explored the father-daughter relationship between a young, working woman and her single, ailing father. Talking about the bonding between a father and a daughter, the filmmaker told IANS, “The father-daughter relationship is really special. They have their own share of awkwardness and challenges. Also, I feel it's one of the least discussed or represented relationships, which has a lot of scope for beautiful stories."

He added, “Piku was one such story with which I could immediately connect. Likewise, my next film also revolves around a sweet bond between a father and a daughter and makes you travel with their emotional journey. We are ready to bring this heartwarming story to the audience globally on November 15." More details of the upcoming movie are awaited.
