R. Balakrishnan, popularly known as R. Balki (born in Kumbakonam, Thanjavur district, Tamil Nadu),〔http://www.tamilstar.com/news-id-kamal-haasans-younger-daughter-akshara-to-jump-into-bollywood-arena-kamal-haasan-younger-daughter-akshara-tamil-cinema-news-tamil-movies-03-09-135550.htm〕〔http://www.kollytalk.com/cinenews/akshara-follow-shrutis-footsteps-tinsel-town-110129.html〕 is an Indian filmmaker, screenwriter and Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of the advertising agency Lowe Lintas (India).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Team )〕 He is best known for directing ''Cheeni Kum'' (2007) and ''Paa'' (2009).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lowe Lintas: Juggling between ads and cinema )〕 ==Career== He started his career with Mudra at the age of 23. His passion had always been film making; after college, he even applied to the Madras Film Institute to do a course in direction. However, he did not like the panel that interviewed him, so he walked out. After this, he got into the Masters in Computer Application (MCA) course in a college directly opposite the film institute. He always liked computers, so he thought that he could do well in this course. After studying there for three years, he was thrown out in the last year because of lack of attendance. According to him, this was mainly because he played a lot of cricket and watched a lot of movies. He saw an ad in the papers for Mudra and he remembered seeing it after Buniyaad. The ad asked people to send in 100 words describing who they were. His idol was Ramesh Sippy when he started his career; he wished to emulate him in advertising and got to meet Sippy only much later. Balki's ideas have included "Daag Achche Hain" for 'Surf Excel', "Jaago re" ads for 'Tata Tea' and the "walk when you talk" Idea Cellular advertising campaign. He has written and directed ''Cheeni Kum'' (2007), which starred Amitabh Bachchan and Tabu. His second feature film was the critically acclaimed and commercially successful ''Paa'', (produced by Sunil Manchanda), released on 4 December 2009, starring Amitabh, his son Abhishek Bachchan, and Vidya Balan. ''Shamitabh'' is his third Bollywood venture starring Amitabh Bachchan, Kollywood actor Dhanush and Akshara Haasan, making her debut in the film. The film released on February 6, 2015. His upcoming project is "Ki & Ka" starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Arjun kapoor. 〔http://www.koimoi.com/bollywood-news/revealed-kareena-kapoors-look-as-ki-in-r-balkis-ki-and-ka/〕 Ilaiyaraaja, the noted Indian composer, is his favourite composer. Balki once commented, "My biggest inspiration has been Ilaiyaraaja's music; it was his music that got me interested in cinema in the first place."〔(LUNCH WITH BS: R Balki ), Business Standard, Shobhana Subramanian, Mumbai 12 June 2007.〕 He collaborated with P. C. Sreeram for all of his three Bollywood ventures. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「R. Balki」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
