On the work front, Shoojit Sircar had his film I Want To Talk released in theatres, on November 22, 2024. The film features Abhishek Bachchan in the lead, and critics have hailed it to be his best performance yet.
Recently in an interaction with NDTV, the director said, “You know Arjun Sen (I Want To Talk is based on the life of a cancer survivor and the many life-altering surgeries he went through) is also my friend. So, the personalities just fit. That is what made me go with Abhishek. And you will see there is a little twinkle in Abhishek’s eyes, which speaks volumes of the pain, but he also sees life with humour. Abhishek has a lot of realism in him if it is correctly portrayed. So, these small factors made me sure of my choice, and of casting Abhishek.”
The film was released on OTT, on January 17, 2024.
