Known for his originality in his stories and storytelling, and for presenting unexplored themes in a commercial format, Chup is filmmaker R Balki’s most ambitious film to date. Ambition not in big budget terms but in the scale of thought. Releasing on September 23, 2022, it’s a romantic psychopath thriller, a thought he had after Cheeni Kum and decided to write it much later. The poster revealed the release date.
Speaking of the same R Balki said, "Chup is special for more than one reason. For me, the biggest reason is it marks the official debut of Amitabh Bachchan as a music composer. Amitji saw Chup and played an instinctive original melody on his piano as he relived the film. It was his way of expressing his feelings for the film, paying a tribute. This composition, his gift to the film, will be the end title track of Chup. I don’t think there can be an artist whose sensitivity can beat Bachchan’s and Chup has his touch!!!
