Ad-maker R. Balakrishnan's first feature film Cheeni Kum got resounding critical acclaim and decent commercial success. But Balki, as he is popularly known, is now writing his second film titled Pa featuring the Bachchan father-son duo."After 'Cheeni Kum' I was back in advertising. This is a good time to make ad films, so I've been directing quite a lot of ad films," Balki told IANS.Balki makes ad films for Lintas where he still works in spite of his success as a filmmaker."The ad featuring Abhishek (Bachchan) and a panchayat is mine. In addition, I've recently directed ads for Tata tea, Bajaj and Surf Excel.""This has been a good year for advertising. But now I need to get back to my film. I confess I've been a little slow with the scripting of 'Pa'. But now I'm just about to complete the screenplay."Pa would be the third film to feature Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek as father and son after Sarkar and its sequel Sarkar Raj. And Balki promises this one will be far more moist and sentimental.

Hours after Bollywood's hottest couple made their much-speculated relationship official, astrologers are predicting a smooth run for Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai.Varanasi-based renowned astrologer Rameshwar Upadhyaya speculated the actors' wedding could not be delayed due to planetary positions."This wedding is bound to take place quickly because both sides are (astrologically) not in a position to delay it much. All steps, leading to the main event (wedding) have already been attended to by them. The Mangal Dosh (malefic effects of Mars) has been rectified. They have completed the ritual of engagement and it is before the society also. The only thing remaining now is the wedding that is to be scheduled for an auspicious occasion and that will take place soon," said Upadhyaya.The wedlock is likely to take place any time within the next two months, which have a number of auspicious dates."I feel that the wedding could be slated anywhere around the auspicious occasions that have begun from Basant Panchmi (Spring festival) and which will go on till mid-March. The date of the wedding looks possible anywhere around the first week of February, February 19-20, or it could also be in January. There are a large number of auspicious dates now," he said.Sri Kant Tripathi, Chief Priest of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, where one of the main prayers for removing possible astrological hurdle took place, said the duo would be blessed with marital bliss."This wedding will be successful in every way and there is no question of it being unsuccessful. We always pray for the well being of our devotees.
