Mahesh Bhatt Calls Dulquer Salmaan-Sunny Deol Starrer ‘Balki’s Best Film’

After
Akshay
Kumar’s
2018
film

PadMan,
R
Balki’s
next
is
a
pyschological
romantic
thriller
titled

Chup:
Revenge
Of
The
Artist.
The
film
which
is
scheduled
to
hit
the
big
screens
this
Friday
(September
23),
features
Sunny
Deol,
Dulquer
Salmaan,
Pooja
Bhatt
and
Shreya
Dhawanthary
in
leading
roles.

Chup
is
reportedly
a
homage
to
one
of
Indian
cinema’s
greatest
filmmakers
Guru
Dutt
who
is
known
for
movies
like

Pyaasa,

Sahib
Biwi
Aur
Ghulam
and

Kaagaz
Ke
Phool.
The
commercial
failure
of

Kaagaz
Ke
Phool
affected
Dutt
so
much
that
he
never
helmed
a
film
ever
again.

R
Balki’s
Chup
revolves
around
a
serial
killer
who
goes
on
a
killing
spree,
targeting
film
critics
for
giving
poor
ratings
to
movies.
Sunny
Deol
essays
the
role
of
a
cop
in
this
thriller.
Meanwhile,
the
first
review
of
this
much-anticipated
film
is
out,
and
according
to
veteran
filmmaker
Mahesh
Bhatt,
it’s
R
Balki’s
best
film.

Mahesh
Bhatt’s
daughter
and
actress
Pooja
Bhatt
who
is
a
part
of

Chup,
took
to
her
Instagram
page
to
share
her
father’s
verdict
on
her
film.

Sharing
some
pictures
of
the
filmmaker
from

Chup‘s
special
screening,
she
wrote,
“So
the
man
who
has
never
remained
#Chup
about
his
life
nor
about
other
burning
issues
&
taught
me
to
do
the
same
no
matter
what
it
cost,
watched
the
film
with
the
cast
&
crew
yesterday..His
verdict-
“Loved,
loved
simply
loved
the
film.
It
has
audacity
&
stands
tall
all
alone.
That’s
why
it
sparkles.
I
am
a
Balki
fan
now.
This
is
his
best
film.”
Mahesh
Bhatt.”
