In a bold move that challenges conventional beauty standards, actor Abhishek Bachchan has joined forces with acclaimed director Shoojit Sircar for his highly anticipated film, I Want To Talk. The film’s poster, unveiled on October 25, features Bachchan showcasing his pot belly, a striking portrayal aimed at normalizing body diversity and celebrating authenticity.
The poster presents Abhishek Bachchan in a long coat paired with playful, cartoon-printed pants, reminiscent of comfortable home attire. This marks a significant moment in his career, as the actor confidently flaunts his pot belly, which includes visible surgery marks—a powerful symbol of his journey and acceptance.
“Bolne ke liye toh bohot kuch hai but then (There are many things to say but then), a picture ‘talks’ a thousand words. #IWantToTalk in cinemas 22nd November,” Abhishek expressed on social media, inviting audiences to reflect on the themes of the film.
