From his directorial debut film "Cheeni Kum" to "Shamitabh", Balki has cast Bachchan in quirky and unusual roles.
Their recent collaboration was for "Ki and Ka", in which Big B has a special appearance with his actress wife Jaya Bachchan.
The filmmaker said it's not difficult for him to think of novel ideas for the 73-year-old legend.
"It comes naturally to me... I don't have to struggle hard for it. Something is coming next... We will do. I can't share anything as it is too early," Balki told PTI.
"During 'Cheeni Kum' he was acting like a 'khadoos' (snobbish) as he was in his character. During 'Paa' he was like a child and during 'Shamitabh' he was worse! Total 'khadoos'. He says he is in character," Balki said.
"I would write a slapstick comedy for him he is fantastic at comedy. So that he can laugh. I will write comedy and serious roles for him," he said jokingly.
Balki is currently busy promoting his next film "Ki and Ka", starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Arjun Kapoor.
