Irrfan and Deepika in a still from Piku

 

Actor Irrfan, who is better known for his serious and offbeat roles on the big screen, is happy to have done a film like Piku. The actor says the film has fulfilled his desire of dabbling with the romantic and comic genres.

He now wants to do more of romantic films, "provided that the script appeals" to him.

"You always don't want to do hard-hitting films but also want to do romantic films. I also wanted romantic roles as well as comedy, but I was waiting for the right script," said the actor, known for his power-packed roles in films like Paan Singh Tomar, The Lunchbox, Qissa and Gunday.

"When I got this script, I agreed as it has both elements -romance and comedy. In a way, this film has fulfilled my desire of doing romance as well as comedy on screen," added the National Award-winning actor.

Directed by Shoojit Sircar, Piku explores the beautiful relationship of a father, played by megastar Amitabh Bachchan and a daughter, played by Deepika Padukone. Irrfan plays a mediator of sorts between the two. The film will release on May 8.
