The film explores the delicate, often humorous, relationship between a father and daughter, touching on themes of aging, responsibility, and unconditional love.

Following the success of ‘Piku’, Sircar’s recent work, ‘I Want To Talk’, is currently streaming on Amazon Prime. This new project, starring Abhishek Bachchan, delves into the themes of resilience and the powerful bond between a father and his estranged daughter.

The narrative centers on Arjun Sen, a man living with the ticking clock of a terminal illness, and his efforts to reconcile with his seven-year-old daughter.

“I Want To Talk is a poignant reminder of the indomitable power of human connection and resilience,” Sircar shared in a statement. “Through this film, I wanted to tell a story that would not only touch hearts but also spark meaningful conversations about cherishing moments with loved ones.”
