Abhishek Bachchan to star in Shoojit Sircar's next, deets inside

Shoojit Sircar is all ready for his next directorial venture with Abhishek Bachchan. The film is expected to release in 2025.

The film will be produced by Rising Sun Films and Sircar is done with shooting primarily in USA. In a recent interview, the filmmaker shared that he wants to reach audiences worldwide. He also shared that his upcoming film will tell the story of an ordinary man and his extraordinary life.

Talking about his storytelling style with PTI, Sircar said, “I am really influenced by normal, simple, everyday life and people, like the Biji and Dolly in Vicky Donor, who used to drink and say whatever they felt like. These characters were so lively. I have seen these people around me. I feel I am like them, even in my social media posts. I observe them, pick up notes and moments to make a film out of it.”

“I call it an ensemble cast or the world of Gulabo Sitabo which is about the lifestyle of my characters. I just go and sit there in a corner and observe these characters through my camera,” he added.

Shoojit Sircar is known for his critically acclaimed hits that include, 'Vicky Donor', 'Madras Café', 'Piku', 'October', and 'Gulabo Sitabo'.
