The film reportedly refers to the criticism legendary star Guru Dutt received after his film 'Kaagaz Ke Phool'. The film is a psychological thriller written and directed by R Balki. The filmmaker has called it an ‘ode’ to Guru, who died at the age of 39 on October 10, 1964. Balki said in a statement last year, "Chup is an ode to the sensitive artist, and Guru Dutt is right on top of that list. I have had the story for a long time and I am glad we finally wrote it and are almost done filming it.” The teaser said that the film, which also stars Pooja Bhatt, is ‘coming soon.’
