Balki signs the Bachchans for his next project

MUMBAI: Buoyed by the success of Paa, director Balki has got the entire Bachchan family for his next film yet untitled.

Though the subject is being kept under wraps, the only thing the director has confirmed is that the Bachchans are going to be an integral part of his film once again.

The director has narrated the basic plot to the Bachchans and has got their approval. But he is taking his time giving the finishing touches to the film. He is confident of coming up with a script that will do justice to the entire clan.

Balki, a Bachchan favourite, has been casting the veteran actor in a series of unconventional roles. Firstly, he did Cheeni Kum, where Balki made Bachchan play a 60-plus chef who falls in love with a woman (Tabu) half his age. Next, he came up with Paa that fetched Bachchan a National Award for enacting the role of a child suffering from progeria.

Other cast and credits are being finalised.
