VETERAN actor Amitabh Bachchan went bananas as he had to re-take a scene several times in the upcoming movie Piku.

Amitabh, who plays the father of Deepika Padukone (Piku), was supposed to give bananas to his co-actor Irrfan Khan in a scene and the actor was to take one banana and eat it.

However, there were around six retakes because everyone kept cracking up due to the funny dialogue.

After so many retakes, what began as a bunch of bananas saw Amitabh jokingly offer Irrfan just the left over banana stem.

This moment was caught on camera with Sr Bachchan offering a banana stem to a visibly amused Irrfan.

A comedy-drama that trails a quirky father-daughter relationship, Piku is directed by one of India’s most versatile directors, Shoojit Sircar.

It also stars Moushumi Chatterjee, Jishu Sengupta and Raghuveer Yadav.

Piku (Deepika) is a Delhi-based architect who manages her small business, runs her home and takes care of her 70-year-old father, Bhashkor Banerji (Amitabh Bachchan), who spends most of his time obsessing about age-related issues.

Piku’s Baba must ensure he has her attention 24/7, leaving her with little time to do anything else.

Romance and getting a life of her own just don’t seem possible.

While both are deeply attached to one another, they are equally strong headed, stubborn and just won’t let go when dealing with each other’s idiosyncrasies.

When Bhashkor emotionally blackmails Piku to take a road trip from Delhi to Kolkata, the owner of the local cab service, Rana (Irrfan Khan), has no choice but to drive them personally since none of his drivers are willing to endure Piku or her eccentric father.

During this undesired road trip they learn to deal with each other’s moods.
