Filmmaker R Balki’s films are a bank of emotions and drama. He considers superstar Amitabh Bachchan his lucky charm and has featured the veteran in almost all his movies so far. The director recently announced his upcoming psychological thriller titled Chup starring Sunny Deol, Dulquer Salmaan, Shreya Dhanwanthary and Pooja Bhatt. Now the Piku director is all set to lock in the star cast for his next, which be a cricket based drama. Abhishek Bachchan has been reportedly finalized as the film’s lead. 

 

The Manmarziyaan actor is in advanced talks with Balki for the film and will play the role of a left handed batsman. The untitled film will most likely go on floors next year after Abhishek wraps up the third season of Amazon Prime Web series, Breathe and Balki wraps post production of Chup. Bachchan will also be seen in Dasvi starring Nimrat Kaur and Red Chillies Entertainment’s Bob Biswas.
