It seems Mrs Funnybones is ready to return to the movies. But this time from behind the scenes. Twinkle Khanna has apparently conceptualised her first film, which is going to be directed by R Balki with Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte in lead roles and Amitabh Bachchan in a special appearance. What’s more, she is also turning producer with 'Mrs Funnybones Movies'.
According to Mumbai Mirror, the film has been entirely conceptualised by Twinkle while Balki is writing the script, screenplay and dialogues. The film goes on the floors in March next year.

And according to sources, there are big plans afoot for the production house.
There are two kinds of slates being planned for ‘Mrs Funnybones Movies’ for 2017 - one for mainstream films and the second for off-beat fare. All the films will be presented by Twinkle.A Source
After a self-confessedly inept career as an actor, Twinkle finally found her ilk in her writing. She recently published her second book The Legend of Lakshi Prasad.
We are definitely excited to see what Twinkle brings on the creative table of her production house.
