Currently, R Balki is busy with ‘Chup’ which marks his debut in the genre of thrillers. The film is written by R Balki and is based on the story he started working on a few years ago. The screenplay and dialogues have been co-written by R Balki, critic-turned-writer Raja Sen and Rishi Virmani. Speaking about the movie, R Balki had said in a statement, “Chup is an ode to the sensitive artist, and Guru Dutt is right on top of that list. I have had the story for a long time and I am glad we finally wrote it and are almost done filming it.”
R Balki had received much praise for his directorial ‘Ki & Ka’ and the filmmaker had hinted at a possibility of a sequel to the powerful entertainer. Speaking to Bombay Times, the filmmaker had shared, “Bebo, Arjun, and I had a great time working together. In fact, we have spoken about working together again many, many times after that. As for sequels, I have never made a sequel for any of my films before, for numerous reasons. Come to think of it, when we first made Ki & Ka, we had to explain a lot of things in detail. Today, if I was to make a sequel, it would be simpler to handle, with fewer explanations to offer about the way things are because things have really changed a lot around us. Having said that, I don’t have thoughts about making a sequel. Only when Bebo and Arjun were talking to me yesterday did it strike me that there could really be a sequel here. Let’s see! If an idea comes up then, maybe…we will think of it.”
