"But I think what's the harm? If the woman's character is that then it's okay. For example, everybody asked me if it's( Piku) is a woman centric film. I said why? Coz a woman has a stronger character that's why it's a woman centric film."

"I wish I could do romantic leads with some of the younger ladies like Katrina, Priyanka or Vidya, Deepika or Parineeti....with all of them."

Big B's Experience Working With Deepika In Piku:

"Having 'Deepika' as a daughter would be wonderful. Having Piku as a daughter would be in line with the story of the film. Annoying or difficult would have to be assessed when you see the film."

"But for the moment, let us just say it is a very evolved relationship. Father-daughter relationships in general are somewhat conservative. Or perhaps tend to be conservative."

"There is greater 'talk man to man' kind of attitude with a son, not often with a daughter. In this film, that notion has been challenged rather bravely I must say."

"There is debate and argument and disagreement and opinion, but deep down, there is understanding and empathy and breaking convention and a freedom, and respect for individual thought and comment, which is all rather endearing," had told Mr Bachchan while interacting with media.
