Megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan,
who
has
earlier
worked
with
writer-cum-director
Balki
aka
R
Balakrishna
for
movies
like
Cheeni
Kum
and
Paa,
is
once
again
teaming
up
with
the
director
who
says
that
he
is
writing
with
the
veteran
actor
in
mind.
Talking
to
PTI
Balakrisha,
who
is
now
busy
with
his
wife
Gauri
Shinde's
English
Vinglish,
says,
"Once
she
(his
wife
Gauri)
finishes
then
I
will
start
directing.
Of
course,
my
next
project
is
with
Mr
Bachchan.
I
am
writing
the
film
hence
can't
talk
about
it.”
Balakrishnan's
association
with
Amitabh
goes
a
long
way
since
he
worked
with
the
megastar
in
many
of
his
ad
films.
Earlier,
Balki
once
said
that
it
was
only
after
he
had
made
some
10-14
ad
films
with
Bachchan
that
he
got
the
confidence
to
approach
the
actor
for
his
own
movie.
He
wrote
and
directed
off-beat
movies
with
Bachchan,
but
they
always
proved
to
be
hitting
the
right
chord
with
audience
and
leaving
a
mark
at
the
Box
Office.
However,
Balakrishna
has
written
and
produced
wife
Gauri
Shinde's
directorial
debut
film
English
Vinglish,
which
marks
the
comeback
actress
Sridevi
in
Bollywood.
The
film
is
a
fun-filled
slice-of-life
movie
exploring
the
impact
of
not
knowing
English
language
in
everyday
life.
"I
am
jealous
of
her
(Gauri)
as
she
got
to
work
with
Sridevi
before
me," PTI
quotes
Balki
as
saying.
The
film
is
set
to
release
on
September
21.
