MUMBAI, India—January 18, 2024— Prime Video, India’s most-loved entertainment destination, today announced the exclusive global streaming premiere of National Award-winning filmmaker Shoojit Sircar’s latest cinematic offering, I Want To Talk. Produced by Ronnie Lahiri and Sheel Kumar under the banner of Rising Sun Films, this heartfelt drama stars Abhishek Bachchan in the lead, along with Ahilya Bamroo, Jayant Kriplani, Johnny Lever, Pearle Dey, and Kristin Goddard in pivotal roles. The film is now streaming exclusively on Prime Video in 240 countries and territories worldwide.
A deeply emotional and thought-provoking drama about resilience, I Want to Talk follows the transformative journey of Arjun Sen, a chatty and shrewd Bengali man living the quintessential “American Dream.” Arjun’s life is upended when he learns he has only 100 days to live. Faced with his mortality, he is forced to reevaluate his priorities and reassess what truly matters in his life. His journey becomes a sincere quest to reconnect with his estranged seven-year-old daughter and to make every remaining moment count, making for an intrinsically true-to-life father-daughter story.
“I Want To Talk is a poignant reminder of the indomitable power of human connection and resilience. I’ve always been fascinated by the complexities of human relationships and how these can help one heal and transform. Through this film, I wanted to tell a story that would not only touch hearts but also spark meaningful conversations and inspire audiences to cherish every moment with their loved ones. This film would not have been possible without the incredibly talented cast and crew, who poured their hearts and souls into bringing this story to life. I’m delighted that audiences worldwide can now stream our labor of love, on Prime Video,” said director Shoojit Sircar.
