Mumbai: Director R Balki has revealed that he will be teaming up with his frequent collaborator, actor Amitabh Bachchan for another project.

From his debut film Cheeni Kum to Shamitabh, Mr Balki has cast Mr Bachchan in quirky and unusual roles.

Their recent collaboration was for Ki And Ka, in which Big B has a special appearance with his actress wife Jaya Bachchan.

The filmmaker said it's not difficult for him to think of novel ideas for the 73-year-old legend.

"It comes naturally to me. I don't have to struggle hard for it. Something is coming next. We will do. I can't share anything as it is too early," Mr Balki told PTI.

The Cheeni Kum director said that he wants to do a light-hearted film so that the atmosphere on the sets is relaxed. (Also Read: Amitabh Bachchan Shares Pic He Sent to Talent Hunt to 'Join Films')

"During Cheeni Kum he was acting like a 'khadoos'(snob) as he was in his character. During Paa he was like a child and during Shamitabh he was worse! Total 'khadoos'. He says he is in character," Mr Balki said.

"I would write a slapstick comedy for him; he is fantastic at comedy. So that he can laugh. I will write comedy and serious roles for him," he said jokingly.

Mr Balki is currently busy promoting his next film Ki And Ka, starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Arjun Kapoor.

The film will hit theatres on April 1.
