Filmmaker R Balki had unveiled the Chup teaser on the late legendary Guru Dutt’s birthday. Paying an ode to him, the teaser pointed to the criticism that the director received for his masterpiece, Kaagaz Ke Phool. Billed as Chup: Revenge of the Artist, it is the first film to be shot at Mumbai’s iconic institution, the J.J. School of Arts. The academy brings out exceptional talents and the film that comes as an ode to the artiste had to be shot at one of the most inspiring locations. The director opened up on the shoot of the film at the exquisite location.

“Chup relates to the life of an artiste, and the School was a perfect location for us. It’s one of the most stunning architectures we have in Mumbai. We shot in Kipling’s bungalow inside the campus. It was an unforgettable experience with tremendous support from the faculty and the management there,” said the filmmaker.
