Balki, who has collaborated with Bachchan in films like 'Cheeni Kum' and 'Paa', is once again working with the 71-year-old actor in 'Shamitabh'.
"We are half way through shoot of the film... Once we finish the film, we can talk more about it. Right now I am enjoying watching lethal combination of the intensity of Amitabh Bachchan, intelligence of Dhanush and innocence of Akshara (actor Kamal Haasan's daughter) in action, daily," Balki said in a statement here.
"Shall be disclosing name of R Balki film... Do log in. It is quite unique and different," Big B tweeted today.
Later, in a subsequent tweet he revealed the title, "Shamitabh.. The title of my new film with R Balki."
On the title, Balki says, "We are happy to announce that the film is titled 'Shamitabh'... As in SH before Amitabh."
Besides, Bachchan, the film also stars Dhanush and Akshara, who is debuting in Bollywood with the film.
