R. Balki rubbishes rumours of casting Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar

Outrageous, completely fabricated! This is filmmaker R Balki s reaction to news that went viral yesterday. According to reports that actually started in a Mumbai tabloid Balki has cast his favourite actor Amitabh Bachchan alongside Akshay Kumar.

The knowledgeable report has gone viral and Balki is fuming. I ve been busy with my wife Gauri Shinde s film Dear Zindagi. Taking advantage of my unavailability a section of the media has gone berserk. I had no clue that this is been going on behind my back. When I started getting messages and calls asking about my film with Amitji and Akshay, I was like thanks for telling me about it, sniggers Balki.

For the record he has not zeroed in on any project as his next directorial venture. After Dear Zindagi I will start thinking about what I will do next. At the moment all I know is it will be a movie with living actors. Not an animation film. And it won t be about demonetization. Nor will it be about a filmmaker s husband nearly dying of nervousness as he waits for the release of his wife s film.
