Filmmaker R Balki on Wednesday announced his next directorial venture, a thriller starring Sunny Deol, Pooja Bhatt and Dulquer Salmaan.
The film will also star Shreya Dhanwanthary.
The 56-year-old writer-director, known for films such as “Cheeni Kum”, “Paa”, “Padman”, “Ki & Ka”, said he is excited to begin shooting his first thriller.
He said he is thrilled to be collaborating with a talented bunch of actors.
“To make a film in a genre that I haven’t attempted before is even more exciting. “I have had the idea for a long time but never quite got around to writing it, and while it’s fundamentally a thriller, it banks so much on these four stunning performers,” Balki said in a statement.
In May, veteran cinematographer PC Sreeram had announced that Balki and Salmaan are set to collaborate on a ”psychological thriller”, of which he is also a part.
The yet-to-be-titled film is expected to be released early next year.
