Abhishek Bachchan is currently gearing up for his upcoming release, I Want to Talk. In a recent conversation, Abhishek shared an emotional and personal insight into the strength and bravery that shapes his character, Arjun Singh, in his upcoming film I Want to Talk. Reflecting on the struggles his character faces, Abhishek revealed that he drew inspiration from a powerful lesson his daughter, Aaradhya, learned during the pandemic.
He recalled a moment when Aaradhya, as a young child, was reading a children’s book, and a particular line deeply resonated with him. The book’s character described the most courageous word in the world as "help," emphasizing that seeking help is a sign of strength and the determination to confront challenges head-on. He said, “That means you are not ready to give up. I will do whatever it takes to carry on.”
Abhishek believes this quality is central to his character, Arjun, who, despite enduring significant hardships, remains unwavering and determined to persevere. The actor further explained, "He is not afraid to ask for help. He is not afraid to go into the hospital. He is not giving up."
The actor emphasized how Arjun represents unwavering resilience, continuing to endure despite a lifetime of challenges."Somebody who has dealt with the things that he has dealt with and continues to deal with, it’s very easy to be fed up after 31 odd years and say 'bahot ho gaya hai, abhi aur nahi karna hai' (I’ve had enough, I don’t want to go on). But no, the fact that he is still at it, still trying... is what makes him truly courageous, " stated Abhishek.
Directed by Shoojit Sircar, I Want to Talk is set to hit theatres on November 22, 2024. The film features Johnny Lever and Ahilya Bamroo in key roles and is produced by Ronnie Lahiri and Shoojit Sircar under the banner of Rising Sun Films.
