The much-anticipated first look of Abhishek Bachchan and director Shoojit Sircar’s collaboration ‘I Want To Talk’ dropped on Friday. Abhishek, along with the makers, unveiled the film's poster on social media, and his unique avatar in the image sparked immediate intrigue among fans and followers.
First look of Abhishek Bachchan in 'I Want To Talk'
In the poster, Abhishek stands in the middle of a room, dressed casually in a robe and pyjamas. The robe is open at the front, exposing his torso, which sports a slightly unpolished, natural look, including a belly. His gaze is directed away from the camera, and he wears a pair of glasses, which adds to the raw, realistic vibe.
Abhishek shared the poster on Instagram, captioning it: "Bolne ke liye toh bohot kuch hai but then, a picture ‘talks’ a thousand words."

The actor’s fans and colleagues quickly filled the comment section with praise, appreciating the unfiltered portrayal. Celebrities from Bollywood, including Sonali Bendre, Zoya Akhtar, and Sikandar Kher, showed their support with enthusiastic responses. Fans especially celebrated the combination of Sircar’s direction with Abhishek’s acting, with one user calling it a “Great combo @shoojitsircar & @bachchan.”
