In the poster, Abhishek sports a disheveled appearance, standing in what appears to be a modest kitchen. Dressed in a bathrobe over printed yellow shorts, he has a prominent scar down the center of his torso, and his expression is one of slight confusion, hinting at a layered, possibly troubled character. His look suggests he might be grappling with personal challenges or navigating an unusual situation, which is typical of Sircar’s nuanced, slice-of-life storytelling.
Shoojit Sircar, known for creating memorable, relatable characters in films like Piku and October, is expected to bring his signature style to I Want To Talk, blending humor, raw emotion, and realism.
“Going by the poster, the lead character of I Want To Talk played by Abhishek surely looks interesting, to say the least,” notes an insider. Sircar’s films are celebrated for taking audiences on an emotional journey through well-crafted, ordinary lives, and I Want To Talk promises to follow suit, exploring both the quirky and heartfelt moments within the protagonist’s life.
