for
the

A
slice-of-life
cinema,
the

is
a
quirky
roller
coaster
ride
of
a
crazy
father-daughter
relationship
essayed
by

Having

Irrfan
Khan,
Happy
New
Year
actress
Deepika
Padukone
feels
both
excited
as
well
as
nervous.
"It's
a
huge
honor
for
me
to
be
working
with
such
stalwarts
on
Piku.
I
am
extremely
nervous
but
also
very
excited
as
Piku
is
the
kind
of
cinema
I
believe
in.
Everyday
I
walk
onto
the
set
with
butterflies
in
my
stomach.
I
hope
I
do
justice
to
Piku
and
bring
her
alive
onscreen
in
a
way
that
audiences
fall
in
love
with
her," said
Deepika
who
played
a
bar
dancer
in
Happy
New
Year.
Meanwhile,
Amitabh
Bachchan
adds,"What
makes
the
process
of
filming
Piku
extremely
enjoyable
is
that
it
is
helmed
by
Shoojit
Sircar
and
also
stars
the
immensely
talented
Deepika
Padukone
and
Irrfan
Khan.
The
film
has
an
interesting
story
and
there
is
a
lot
of
excitement
on
the
sets."
Also,
Irrfan
Khan
is
super
excited
about
the
film
Piku
as
he
said,
"
There
are
several
projects
that
I
undertake
in
a
year
but
there's
always
that
one
film
that
you
look
forward
to
and
to
me
Piku
is
that
film.
I
am
really
excited
and
looking
forward
to
begin
work
on
this
one."
Director
of
Piku,
Shoojit
who
is
once

make
you
smile!
We
have
the
best
of
the
talent
coming
together
for
a
refreshing
tale
of
a
father-daughter
relationship.
I
am
privileged
to
direct
Mr.
Bachchan
along
with
Deepika
and
Irrfan.They
are
three
powerhouse
performers
and
it
doesn't
get
better
than
this
for
me."
