Poha - a wife-daughter in law-her brother-his friend story

Veteran Amitab Bachan-film maker Balkee's ambitious new project was announced today at Juhu at the Big Bee's residence. 'This will be a touching tale of Jeya making omelette and the Big Bee rejecting it and asking for Poha instead' he said. 'It's inspired by my very astute observation one morning when I was breakfasting with the Bachans. I noticed that Jeya'd made omelette and Mr. Bachan rejected it and asked for Poha. I went back and googled for a medical disorder that would make a person reject perfectly good omelettes and instead found one where the patient is convinced that his inane observations are in fact, profound. Something to do with the temporal lobe - anyways, that's for my next film in which I would play the lead role myself'. Poha is a short 30 minute thriller to be shot with handheld cameras in the Bachan residence itself, the kitchen to be specific.
