Later, the megastar is expected to join hands with Bheeshma Parvam director Amal Neerad, for a big-budget venture. Even though the duo announced Bilal, a sequel to their much-loved film Big B in 2017, it has been delayed indefinitely due to various technical issues. As per the reports, the upcoming untitled project of the actor-director duo is not a sequel to Big B or Bheeshma Parvam, but deals with a fresh subject. A major announcement on the same is expected to be out soon.
