Deepika Padukone heads to Kolkata to kick-start 'Piku'

We saw Deepika Padukone recently at the trailer launch of her Farah Khan film 'Happy New Year'. However, when the rest of the HNY is busy with interviews and promotions, the dimpled beauty has already headed out for her 'Piku' shoot opposite Irrfan Khan. Apparently, the first schedule is to kick off in Kolkata and Deepika is there along with the team.

Though Shoojit Sircar's 'Piku' will see Irrfan Khan opposite Deepika Padukone, the movie is mainly based on a father-daughter relationship. While Big B will play Deepika's father in the film, Irrfan will play her love interest.

Shoojit had mentioned, "Piku is a character-driven father-daughter story. That's the film I am directing next before I go on to my football film 1911 with John Abraham. My writer Juhi Trivedi who wrote Vicky Donor with me, has written Piku. There are essentially three characters in the film of the father, daughter and another man played by Irrfan. I've Bachchan saab's dates and very frankly, all the other actors' dates would have to fall in line with Bachchan Saab's schedule."
