    Marathi film Vihir in 2010 and Gujarati movie Saptapadii in 2013 were produced by Amitabh’s production house. He tweeted, "The films, Hindi films, we do, that I do, we are getting into a kind of joint production (sic).” Balki’s upcoming film also stars the megastar in a lead role. The project is set to go on the floors soon. Bachchan added that he will not stop sponsoring regional films though. He also showed interest in financing television projects.
    He said, "We do regional films, yes. We continue to do that. We are jointly producing the TV serial I am involved in and perhaps Jaya (Bachchan, wife) is also going to be involved in the TV serial produced by us (sic).” Presently Amitabh’s kitty is fully packed with numerous projects as he said, "This year, I will be very packed because, soon after Bhoothnath (Returns), there is Balki, then there is Shoojit (Sircar), then this TV serial, then KBC (game show Kaun Banega Crorepati) and then (Vidhu) Vinod Chopra’s film. Too many things. I will be doing Umesh Shukla’s film also, that will be produced by Bhushan Kumar. It can’t happen this year, so it will probably go to next year (sic).”
