Deepika Padukone studies medical know-how as prep for Piku
Even though she plays an architect in the film, sources tell us that Deepika ended up reading a lot of material on medical ailments and medicines as several scenes required her to tend to Amitabh Bachchan, who plays her father, in the film.
Confirming the news, Deepika says that she, “…spent hours going through information about various medical issues, and their symptoms, solutions, etc. I now know the basic details about blood pressure, constipation, etc.”
‘Piku’ is a roller coaster ride of a crazy father-daughter relationship essayed by Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone with Irrfan Khan top lining the cast, in a pivotal author backed role.
‘Piku’ also marks coming together of Shoojit Sircar, Ronnie Lahiri and Juhi Chaturvedi, the team behind Vicky Donor.
Produced by MSM Motion Pictures (a division of Sony Entertainment Network), Saraswati Entertainment and Rising Sun Films, distributed worldwide by YRF, ‘Piku’ will release worldwide on May 8.
