Bachchan, 71, is sharing the screen space with the 'Raanjhanaa' star and Kamal Haasan's younger daughter for the first time.
"Dhanush and Akshara my colleagues, combine with me each day, with their own sensibilities and performance and the much recognised discipline of the South.
"There is great appreciation in my mind for them, and as we trundle along day after day, we come to know each other somewhat intensely, and particularly. More particularly!," Bachchan posted on his blog.
"Playfully we shout and scream at the unit, joke and indulge in light hearted banter. I crib almost every minute, abstractly of course, with crew and Balki. But no matter what the circumstances be, we all work towards completion and in the spirit of giving the best that we can," he added.
This is the third time Bachchan has teamed up with Balki after 'Cheeni Kum' and 'Paa'.
