After making hard-hitting films like \u201cMadras Caf\u00e9,\u201d \u201cPink,\u201d Shoojit Sircar is ready with his first full-fledged love story, \u201cOctober,\u201d which, he says, will have little glimpses from his life.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019October\u2019 is my take on love, this is the real love I believe in and I have experienced in life. The film has little experiences from my life and from what Juhi (Chaturvedi) has written. This was a difficult film like \u2018Piku\u2019 and \u2018Madras Caf\u00e9.\u2019 I do not select stories thinking anything specific, I just go by what I like, what comes to my mind,\u201d Shoojit told PTI.<\/p>\n

The director says he chose Varun Dhawan for the film because he wanted to tap his potential as an actor and show him in a different light.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are certain potentials that I like to tap as a director in actors. I tried that with Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan in \u2018Piku\u2019 and Taapsee Pannu in \u2018Pink\u2019. He (Varun) is hungry and ready to surrender and when you find that in an actor, what else do you want. I do not want anybody to do a favor on me, I want someone to come and jump in and say let\u2019s do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like Shoojit\u2019s previous ventures, this film is also close to everyday reality.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Piku\u2019 was like everyday affair, when people saw the film, they were like this happens with us every day. In this film, love is shown through my eyes. What we do not notice about love in life is what I have tried to show.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
