R. Balki is currently basking in the success of his recently released movie ‘Padman’ starring Akshay Kumar, Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor; but he is also low-key gearing up for another movie that has all the ingredients to become one of the biggest Bollywood blockbusters, the moment it hits the big screen.
Wonder what those ingredients are? First, take a scoop of Amitabh Bachchan’s exemplary acting and add a dollop of Kangana Ranaut’s impeccable acting prowess, sprinkle a tinge of a powerful script and garnish it with R. Balki’s creative vision; and viola, there you have the recipe for a great biopic that’s reportedly under wraps.

According to reports, Amitabh Bachchan and Kangana Ranaut are coming together for a biopic on Arunima Singh, the first Indian amputee to climb Mount Everest.
Kangana Ranaut, who is currently busy working on ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’ based on the life of Rani Lakshmi Bai; is likely to take on the challenging role of playing Arunima Singh on screen and if the reports are to be believed, then Kangana might undergo training to adapt to the body language of a differently-abled person.
As for Amitabh Bachchan, he will play a mentor or coach to Kangana’s character in this biopic. After his similar role in ‘Black’, our hopes are really high this time and the excitement is already hitting the roof. Amitabh Bachchan is one of the greatest actors Bollywood has ever seen, who till date gives actors half his age or even three-times younger than him, a run for their money. Big B is currently gearing up for his upcoming movies ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ alongside Aamir Khan and ‘102 Not Out’ with Rishi Kapoor.

Although Kangana Ranaut and Amitabh Bachchan will come together in a movie for the first time, we have already seen their crackling chemistry when the two appeared on an advertisement for BoroPlus cream. The funny antics and their epic timing was a visual treat and we hope to see the same magic in this movie too.
However, while these reports hint at a movie in the making, R Balki earlier told in an interview that this isn’t true, “I approach Mr. Bachchan ever day for a film. But whatever you’re hearing now is not true, they are all rumours. There’s nothing on cards. The film people are talking about is not mine, but a friend’s. I am just helping him do it. I’m not directly involved.”
Well, we don’t know whether to fall for this trick again, given how during Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s wedding too, everyone denied while they secretly got married in Italy. So let’s be hopeful that R. Balki gives in to our wishes and makes a movie already.
Let’s hope for the trio to wave their magic wand on this movie.
