Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is all set to start shooting for director R Balki's next film this coming week.

The 71-year-old actor has previously worked with Balki in 'Cheeni Kum' in which he played the role of a chef based in London and donned the role of a child suffering from progeria in 'Paa'.

"...Rushed to meet with people from distant worlds, admirers that have long been desiring a personal interaction.. switched soon thereafter to a make-up room for the look test for Balki's film, which I start shooting within a week," Bachchan posted on his blog.


The untitled film will also mark the debut of Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan's younger daughter Akshara and southern actor Dhanush, who made his presence felt in Bollywood last year in the much acclaimed movie 'Raanjhanaa'.
