After directing a successful film with Akshay Kumar (Padman), filmmaker R Balki is all set for his next outing and its going to be a thriller. The film is going to hav several big names in the star cast it will be headlined by actor Sunny Deol. Recently, Balki opened up about the casting of Sunny in his movie and talked about how actor fitted the role perfectly.

He said, "Yes, Sunny Deol is in my film. I’ve never worked with him. I don’t know why I thought of him. But this was a role that needed a man with an understated machismo. Strong yet vulnerable. A man of a few words whose presence alone makes people pay attention to him. Sunny can command respect without raising his voice or fists. I wanted that personality for this character."

The film will also have megastar Amitabh Bachchan in it. Balki said, "He has to be there. I’ve cast him in every single film of mine beginning with Cheeni Kum where he was the lead to Padman where he made a special appearance. In my thriller, Mr Bachchan will come in at a crucial juncture in the plot. His presence would be decisive, as it always is in my cinema. I’d never cast him just for the sake of casting him."
