Shoojit Sircar, whose I Want To Talk is widely regarded as one of his finest works, couldn’t be happier about Abhishek Bachchan winning the Filmfare Award for Best Actor for his deeply moving portrayal of cancer survivor Arjun Sen.
Shoojit Sircar on Abhishek Bachchan’s win for I Want To Talk; says, “It’s a double joy for me”
Says Shoojit, “Abhishek winning the Filmfare for Best Actor — I mean, I’m really thrilled. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me. The film also won for Adapted Screenplay and Critic, but I’m more happy for Abhishek. He said yesterday in his speech that he’s been 25 years in the industry, so that also is a double joy for me.”
That Abhishek received this recognition for Shoojit’s film makes the director even prouder. “It is a matter of pride for me that he really got this prestigious award and recognition for I Want To Talk. It was a really emotional moment when he got an award on the day when it was his father’s birthday — Mr. Bachchan’s birthday,” Shoojit adds.
The filmmaker was also touched to see Abhishek’s mother, Jaya Bachchan, present at the ceremony. “Jaya di was there at the function, so altogether it just felt like everything came together. For me, one very important fact is that when the film released, there were many reactions. But when you get an award like this, there is validation and incentive to keep your hope up and continue working on your craft — to keep telling stories you believe in. Such awards give you a lot of courage.”
