Filmmaker R Balki, who is known for helming movies like Cheeni Kum, Ki & Ka, Shamitabh, Padman and Paa, recently announced his new film titled Chup: Revenge Of The Artist. The psychological thriller stars Sunny Deol, Pooja Bhatt, Dulquer Salmaan and Shreya Dhanwanthary. The film is R Balki’s ‘ode’ to Guru Dutt. On Saturday (July 9), Balki unveiled the teaser of the film. The day happened to be Guru Dutt’s birth anniversary too.

Says R Balki, “Chup is an ode to the sensitive artiste, and Guru Dutt is right on top of that list. I have had the story for a long time and am glad we finally wrote it, and are almost done filming it.” Meanwhile, the film marks return of Sunny Deol on screen after his 2019 film Blank. —TMS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
