"Yes, I'm starting a comedy, though not slapstick like 'De Dana Dan'. It would be more like the comedies of Hrishikesh Mukherjee," Bhandarkar, who is known for making films like "Chandni Bar", "Satta", "Page 3" and "Corporate", said.

In January next year, the director will launch five films under his banner Bhandarkar Films.
