Deepika Padukone announces Piku Re-release in theatres for 10th anniversary – A tribute to Irrfan Khan.

Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has shared exciting news for fans of the heartwarming 2015 film Piku. The movie is all set to return to the big screen to celebrate its 10th anniversary. Deepika took to Instagram to make the announcement, sharing a nostalgic video that includes scenes from the film and a heartfelt message from her co-star Amitabh Bachchan.

The re-release of Piku is scheduled for May 9, 2025, giving fans a chance to experience the emotional and humorous journey of Piku and her father, Bhaskor Banerjee, all over again. The film, which also starred the late Irrfan Khan, became a fan favorite for its simple yet powerful storytelling, and its beautiful portrayal of the bond between a father and daughter.

In the video posted by Deepika, legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan can be seen reminiscing about the film’s famous road trip. He says,
“Nomoshkar (Hello). Piku, remember? Piku, Bhaskar da, they went on a road trip. Don’t remember? Watch this. It was an amazing road trip. It was unpredictable and unforgettable.”
He continues, “There were emotions, laughter, and tensions too. Piku is re-releasing at your nearest theatres. Do watch, won’t you?”

His words instantly bring back memories of the emotional highs and lighthearted moments that made Piku a special film for many.

Deepika Padukone also added a touching note in her Instagram post. She wrote,
“A film that will always have my heart – PIKU is back in theatres on 9th May, 2025 to celebrate its 10th Anniversary! Irrfan, we miss you! And think about you every so often…”

This emotional message served as a beautiful tribute to Irrfan Khan, who passed away in 2020. His role in the movie added depth and charm, and his absence is deeply felt by both fans and the film’s cast.

Piku tells the story of Piku Banerjee, a young woman juggling her busy work life while taking care of her aging father, Bhaskor Banerjee, played by Amitabh Bachchan. The two set off on a road trip from Delhi to Kolkata, which becomes a journey of discovery and bonding. The film beautifully explores the themes of family, duty, and love, all wrapped in a mix of humor and emotion.

Amitabh Bachchan’s performance as Bhaskor earned him the National Film Award for Best Actor. The movie, directed by Shoojit Sircar, was made on a modest budget of Rs 42 crore and went on to earn Rs 141 crore worldwide, proving to be both a critical and commercial success.

As the Piku re-release date nears, fans are eagerly waiting to revisit this touching story on the big screen. It’s not just a film—it’s a journey full of love, laughter, and memories that continue to live on even after a decade.
