Abhishek Bachchan Explores Life's Final Countdown in Shoojit Sircar’s ‘I Want To Talk’

Abhishek Bachchan recently shared insights into his role in the upcoming movie I Want to Talk. Directed by Shoojit Sircar, the film explores a heartbreaking yet thought-provoking journey. The story centers around a character told he has only 100 days to live. Abhishek’s portrayal dives deep into themes of mortality, priorities, and closure.

The actor shared how the premise resonated with him. “When a doctor tells you that you have 100 days to live, it’s overwhelming at first,” he said. “But then the real question becomes: What do I do with the time I have left? What do I want to change or finish?” He admitted the idea of counting one’s days brings intense reflection. "How do I want to live my last night? Will I even wake up tomorrow?" These questions form the emotional core of the film.

The movie showcases Abhishek as Arjun, a man battling a life-changing health condition while handling personal struggles. The story also touches on the delicate father-daughter relationship, adding depth to the narrative. The first song, Dil Ghabraye, has already struck a chord with fans.

Shoojit Sircar praised Abhishek’s performance, calling it one of his finest. "It’s a simple yet touching take on life that leaves you smiling," the director shared. He added that working on this project was a long-awaited collaboration with Abhishek.

I Want to Talk is produced by Ronnie Lahiri and Sheel Kumar. The film’s trailer, available online, gives a glimpse of Abhishek’s transformative role, capturing both vulnerability and strength.

Set for release on November 22, 2024, this emotional drama promises to be a must-watch. With themes of loss, relationships, and self-discovery, Abhishek’s I Want to Talk will likely leave audiences reflecting on their own lives.
