Shoojit Sircar’s 2012 film Shoebite starring Amitabh Bachchan to finally see the light of the day

Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Shoebite was made in 2012

In the past 20 years, Shoojit Sircar has built not only a rich filmography, but also a creatively fruitful collaboration with Amitabh Bachchan. While the duo’s Piku (2015) and Gulabo Sitabo (2020) have been appreciated, the director’s favourite remains the yet-unreleased Shoebite, which revolves around a 60-year-old man who sets out on a journey of penance. Shoebite has been mired in legal issues as Percept Picture Company, which was to originally produce the film, filed an injunction against the UTV Motion Pictures-backed project.
