The official trailer for R. Balki's next film 'Chup' has been made available. The film is promoted as a psychological thriller with a main character on the hunt for a serial killer. On the other hand, the killer is mercilessly murdering cinema critics while carving star ratings on their foreheads. The tagline for the film is "Revenge of the artist."

Besides Deol, the cast includes Pooja Bhatt, Shreya Dhanwanthary, and Dulquer Salmaan in pivotal roles. The dark trailer shows the gruesome and gory murders of the victims. Romantic moments between Shreya Dhanwanthary and Dulquer Salmaan are juxtaposed with the murders, making the trailer a thrilling watch.

Reference has been given to Guru Dutt’s movie, Kagaz Ke Phool, which was severely criticised by critics, after which the actor-director went into depression.




The trailer features some controversial dialogue, as a remark is made that a movie is a director’s baby. Criticizing it is like raping the baby, which is a horrendous crime. A crime or not, the dialogue is a cringe-worthy one. Pooja Bhatt goes on to brand critics as killers, which is the whole crux of the storyline.

Meanwhile, in his recent interview, Dulquer Salmaan had to say something about the movie. He stated that it was an experimental film, and he was eagerly awaiting the audience’s reaction to it. Salmaan added that he was shocked when the director offered him the role. He questioned R. Balki about offering him the role because he had never done anything like that before. He added that it was not a typical role for him, nor was it a typical movie for the director. He signed off, saying he was curious about the movie and the audience would be curious once it was released.

The movie was announced in 2021, on the death anniversary of the legendary Guru Dutt. Balki added that the movie is an ode to the artist for his contribution to Indian cinema.

The many phases of director R Balki
1/1
In an industry full of people who waffle, make polite noises, and err on the side of political correctness, Balki has always been unafraid to stand by radically unpopular opinions.
