Amitabh Bachchan to play Deepika Padukone’s father?

After playing Deepika Padukone’s father in ‘Aarakshan’ (2011), Amitabh Bachchan will be stepping back into the parenting role to the actress in a new film.

Hindustan Times reports that Padukone has been approached by Shoojit Sircar for his next film ‘Piku’ – also starring Bachchan and Irrfan Khan.

A source told the publication, “Deepika has heard the script, and is impressed with it. Although she is yet to sign the film, in all likelihood, she is doing it.”

Sircar remains non-committal. “Nothing is confirmed right now. At the moment, my entire focus is on discussing the script with Mr Bachchan. After that, I will take the second step (of finalising the actress). At the moment, I can only confirm Mr Bachchan and Irrfan being part of my film officially.”
