Abhishek Bachchan generated a lot of hype with his potbellied look in Shoojit Sircar's upcoming film I Want To Talk. The makers released the much-awaited trailer for the film on Tuesday, and Abhishek, playing the central character Arjun, can be seen in multiple looks. An emotional slice-of-life story, the trailer portrays Arjun's journey through his many challenges, which he navigates with his wit and sense of situational humour.

The trailer shows a man who is being briefed by his doctor about a life-altering surgery that he's about to undergo. His daughter, friends, and family are trying to support him, but he has his internal conflicts and emotional turmoil to deal with, with a neck brace on. As he learns that he has limited time left, he wants to seek redemption for the people in his life he has hurt.
Shoojit Sircar, who made his directorial debut with the 2005 movie Yahaan, has made several poignant films such as Pink, Vicky Donor, October, Piku, Sardar Udham, and more. Speaking of working with Abhishek on I Want To Talk, the director had earlier told PTI, "It's a very simple observation of life with a little smile. When I watch the film, its post-production, it brings a smile. And, I can guarantee that it is one of the finest of Abhishek Bachchan films. We always wanted to work together but we were not getting the right kind of script."
Produced by Rising Sun Films and Kino Works, I Want To Talk also features Johnny Lever, Banita Sandhu, Jayant Kriplani and Ahilya Bamroo in important roles. The film is slated to release on November 22.
