The actor Abhishek Bachchan says he has purposefully picked films like I Want to Talk, his most recent release, and the upcoming movie "Be Happy," which features a father-daughter relationship - an element he believes hasn't been sufficiently addressed in Hindi cinema.
Speaking with PTI, he said, “In this film, the father-in-law, son-in-law, and granddaughter cope with that situation. The void left by the mother figure not being in somebody's life is huge. But to see a dynamic in which the father has to step up and try and fill that void, I thought that was interesting.”

He further added, “ We don't have too many films that speak about that, so that was very refreshing and nice. We also realise nobody can ever replace a mother; you try and do your best. Every parent wants to do whatever they can in their power and a bit beyond that to fulfil their wishes and their desires.”
"Be Happy" is a moving story of a loving single father named Shiv navigating life's highs and lows with his wise-cracking but incredibly loving daughter, Dhara. It is full of heartbreaking moments and keen wit.
Bachchan stated that his portrayal of Shiv was enhanced by his daily conversations with his 13-year-old daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan.
