One of the main attractions of Picu Undoubtedly was carefully cast. Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Irfan, who fit their assigned characters like a glove. Today, the film celebrates a decade with re -release.
In a special conversation with NDTVJuhi Chaturvedi, script writer, again Picu And the trio that created a big screen magic.
Was Deepika, Big B, and Irfan always the first choice?
Irfan and Amitabh Bachchan were actually the first choice for their respective characters, Rana and Bhaskor. “No other view, no dilemma,” the author tells Juhi Chaturvedi NDTV,
Picu, being a title character, was a very complex mixture of sensitivity, eccentric and tenderness which was not the specialty of a Hindi film heroine. However, Shoojit Sircar was very certain about its spontaneous options.
Juhi said, “You know as people, Irfan and Mr. Bachchan have that kind of grip and understanding of life. His knowledge will help to enrich the characters. Picu’s character also did not come from the specific trops of a Hindi film heroine. It was to be felt, and performed with all its complications and mischief.”

Juhi says, “Small things that bother Piku, the feeling of self-values, her frustration, her body language, her regular-ni, we needed someone who attains that depth. Shujit had a complete clarity from the time when Deepika had met others from the time, but no one was taken as anyone else who had not taken any person who had not taken it, but no one was not there. Was.
,Pic The story came from a Vicky donor inspiration “
The author revealed that a lot of soul Picu To write the story of a hearty father-daughter, he exploded with his craving, and he evolved from the bond that he saw between Ashima (Yami Gautam) and her father, Mr. Roy (Jayant Das). Vicky donorThe film that helped Chaturvedi shoot for fame.
Chaturvedi share, “Vicky donor I had lived in my mind and it was also observed that with a comfortable independent old age, with just one or two children becoming more and more atoms with one or two children, the sets providing to the elderly have also disappeared. The responsibility is completely on the children. From here, it was just a deep and deep understanding of Piku’s life. ,
Picu is not innocent, which made her character so real, tangible and cute. All this while she was constantly struggling to lose her identity, while the responsibilities captured her life.
‘Deepika has a wonderful co-star. There is a certain unwritten warmth about it that flows not only on the set, but also closed. I love such qualities. With our age difference and character copy in our film, she comes completely out. ‘- Amitabh Bachchan #10yearsofpiku pic.twitter.com/5tukrilctx

Juhi says, “Piku’s relationship, career, immense sense of responsibility, his stupidity. An aging father refuses to let control. Emotional needs, insecurity, health issues … There are many more in which there is a need to participate and if you are trying to find a stable relationship, bless God!”
And what are the growing points between all this chaos, how does anyone choose the right time?
The author says, “And to keep it in all perspectives, it was a dining table scene that I wrote earlier. The chaos and madness that Picu and Bhaskor have created around themselves, this scene is set for me. I would say that there is beauty there ‘Kalesh‘With every house and with PicuI tried to find out that I could with the soul as much as I could. ,
Writing the most difficult scene of Picu
Whereas Picu There is a film through high and climbing of a deranged family, humor moments actually leave you in partition, while emotional sequences reduce you in a pool of tears.
Piku and Rana’s conversation on constipation surprises you. Conversely, as Bhakkor returns to Bhakkor after a day of cycling the churingi lane in Bolkata, raises fried stages, faces his daughter’s anger, forms intensity.

Juhi Chaturvedi also recalls a scene that was the most difficult to imagine and then put on paper.
She says, “The scene where there is no Bhaskor. I remember I had typed and closed my laptop. I could not believe that he was dead. It was foolish because it was still on paper and no one knew that he was not there; I had no power to kill him, but it was a real death.
Juhi goes to the bar opposite to the storytelling and mentions when returns after cycling with Dashkor Jalebi-kachoriPiku loses it. But, here the author uses a subtle yet effective way.
Juhi said, “In that scene, Piku says many things to him. It was also a scene in which she needed only the right words to express frustration, her fear, her care. She is like a mother. I thought a lot about this scene. In life that breathes to the depth.”
A reminder on why Irrfan was best better
The film could not have a better way to celebrate a decade than the big screen.
The only missing spirit, however, Rana Chaudhary aka Irfan, is alive on the screen forever, but no longer around.
Deepika took Piku to Instagram to share the news of re -release. The caption reads, “Irfan we remember you! And think of you every time …”

Says Juhi, “Irfan’s far away is a great disadvantage to the industry, but even as a person, a magnificent thinker, a reader who was he, who knew him closely that the conversation he could talk to you would only enrich his life. He was a seeker.
Deepika and Irrfan as a romantic pair
PicuApart from being a comedy family drama, there was also about unexpected romance between Picu (Deepika) and Rana (Irrfan).
Juhi believes, “Rana came with her belongings. He did not expect a romance with Picu. Her honesty is very harsh for Picu, but at the same time, she is the same. He is not the same. He is not the one who used to mimic his words. They were two good people who found themselves in each other’s company.”
