The actor shared how the premise of the film made him reflect on what a person might experience when confronted with such a diagnosis. “When a doctor tells you that you have 100 days to live, it’s going to take a few days to process,” Abhishek Bachchan said. “Once it's processed, the real question becomes: What do I do with the time I have left? What do I not want to do? What do I want to put closure to?” Jr AB also highlighted how such a situation forces individuals to confront their personal and emotional priorities—whether it's mending relationships, finalizing financial matters, or simply reflecting on life’s meaning.

The actor went on to discuss the introspective thoughts that arise when lying awake at night, pondering the unknown. “Am I going to wake up tomorrow? Is this my last night? How do I want to live my last night?” he mused. He found the idea of reflecting on one’s last days both fascinating and deeply moving. “It sounds cool that you're making a film about someone who has 100 days to live, but when you actually sit and think, it's an amazing frame of mind to be in,” Bachchan explained.

I Want To Talk, directed by Shoojit Sircar, promises to offer an insightful and emotional portrayal of what it means to live with the knowledge that time is running out. The film, also starring Johnny Lever and Ahilya Bamroo, also explores the intricacies of a father-daughter relationship and is scheduled to release in cinemas on November 22, 2024.
