The trailer for Shoojit Sircar's much anticipated movie, Piku, was released today, which has an impressive cast, including the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Irrfan Khan, among others.

Loosely based on Satyajit Ray's short film, Pikoo's Diary, the trailer gives us some insight about the quirky father-daughter duo at the heart of the story.

In the 2 minute 37 second long trailer, we see Khan has taken on the role of a potential suitor and finds himself stuck between the complicated relationship between a working daughter, played by Padukone and her eccentric Bengali father, played by Bachchan. We see hints of drama

The marketing team for the feature film got creative and released a video invite by Padukone for the traielr launch. The actress invited the big names from the media but also urged them to bring their parents along to the unveiling of the family comedy's trailer.

Piku is slated for release on May 8, 2015.
