Agreed, it was through Arya that director Bala and Vishal met up, and we can say Arya was instrumental in Bala roping in Vishal for 'Avan Ivan'. And, the ace director himself had revealed in a press meet that, initially he wasn't very happy with Vishal but was deeply impressed with Vishal after a few scenes were canned.

And then, the team dashed out a performance cum action-packed movie through 'Avan Ivan', which was a unique offering from Bala as it was his first ever commercial venture.

All that's passé, but looks like the duo will be coming up with another movie! Bala is gearing up with yet another, not so Bala sort of a movie and this entertainer targets children and those young at heart, say sources.

But hold on, this is not Bala's next venture. As earlier reported, he will be coming up with a small budget movie featuring new faces, after which this movie will go on floors next year end.

Commercial entertainers, superman projects, things are definitely taking a turn for Bala. But are people open to this change? Only time will tell the tale...
