Megastar Amitabh Bachchan looks more than a little eccentric in the first look of work-in-progress film Piku, co-starring Deepika Padukone. In the picture released officially by makers, a pot-bellied Mr Bachchan is dressed in a checked overshirt and wears an angler's hat from beneath which longish silver locks peep out.
