Upon the commemoration of nine years since the unveiling of the Bollywood masterpiece “Piku,” the luminary Deepika Padukone ventures into the corridors of reminiscence, unveiling a cherished memento from the film’s set. Unveiling a snapshot from the cinematic oeuvre, Deepika pens a poignant annotation, delving into the recollections shared with her fellow thespians amidst the comedic tapestry. The opus, shepherded by the auteur Shoojit Sircar, graced the silver screens in the annals of 2015.
Embracing the digital realm of Instagram, Padukone divulges a candid tableau alongside a missive, which articulates: “He takes delight in disseminating the tale of my voracious appetite! 🙄🤷🏽♀️@amitabhbachchan #Piku #Bashkor #Rana #ShoojitSirkar @irrfan Oh, how acutely we yearn for your presence.” Within the off-screen vignette, the triad of protagonists from the celluloid saga—Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and the belated thespian Irrfan Khan—convene in animated discourse.
Evidencing their camaraderie, the tableau epitomizes their affinity, while the annotation extols their convivial rapport on the set. Amitabh, essaying the role of Deepika’s patriarch, dons his attire replete with a cap, grey-hued kurta, and ivory-hued pyjamas. Meanwhile, Irrfan and Deepika occupy opposing perches, attentively lending an ear to the venerable thespian.
Instantaneously upon the post’s dissemination, aficionados of the thespians inundate the commentary arena, lavishing adoration upon them. Reacting to the missive, a denizen of the digital realm opines: “Invariably my preferred character and cinematic gem.” Another adds: “Piku and Rana epitomize the nuanced and ethereal romance that I yearn for! 🙂 A consummate delight!” Many others express a longing to revisit the celluloid gem, hailing it as a ‘soothing cinematic interlude’.
Garnering plaudits from both the masses and the cognoscenti, the opus received commendatory acclaim. Deepika clinched her second Filmfare Award in the category of Best Actress for her portrayal in the cinematic oeuvre. Similarly, Irrfan’s enactment garnered laudatory accolades.
In subsequent ventures, Deepika and Amitabh are poised to grace the celluloid canvas in the forthcoming opus of the luminary Prabhas, an action-packed magnum opus titled “Kalki 2898 AD.” Helmed by the auteur Nag Ashwin, the cinematic venture is slated for a theatrical release on June 27. The magnum opus promises to be a futuristic odyssey, set within the annals of mythological lore. The opus also features luminaries such as Kamal Haasan and Disha Patani in pivotal roles.
