Since his earlier film Game, an actioner, proved a dud, and now that his latest release, the cuss-laden Delhi Belly is a hit, wonder what Abhinay Deo's next film will be like? Will the audience face a barrage of expletives again?

Not quite. In fact, Deo is busy putting together a biopic on his parents. Deo's parents are legendary actors of yesteryears, Seema and Ramesh Deo.
"My parents have been acting in films even before the 1960s. I was surprised to learn that they have acted in nearly 100 films together, and in four different languages (Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati and Bhojpuri). This must be a world-record," he said.
To put together the film, the director has collected 60 of his parents' films. "They met at Filmistan Studio while shooting, fell in love and got married," he said.
The film isn't going to be an easy task, and Deo knows it. "I need to find all the films they have acted in together. Unfortunately, the Bhojpuri and Gujarati ones are hard to locate. But I haven't given up."
