Shoojit Sircar's next film Piku, which already has a formidable cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Irrfan Khan and Deepika Padukone, just got more interesting. Wondering why?
Well, it now stars Bengali star Jisshu Sengupta in the romantic lead opposite Deepika Padukone. Yes! You heard it right!
Jisshu, who made his Bollywood debut opposite Ileana D'Cruz in a guest appearance in Anurag Basu's Barfi!, would next be seen in Pradeep Sarkar's Hindi film Mardaani, in which he plays husband to Rani Mukerji's character.
Sircar is said to have been keen to cast Jisshu opposite Deepika as the role suited him to perfection. However, the fact that Jisshu was being launched as a leading man by Yash Raj Films put a question mark on Jisshu's presence in Piku.
Well, let's and watch, how well the chemistry between Jisshu and Dippy is getting formed on-screen! Will it be hot, or will it be not?  Show less
