Nikhil Advani on Kishore Kumar biopic

As Anurag Basu is currently making a biopic on legendary singer and actor Kishore Kumar, director Nikhil Advani says “numerous directors” had mulled the idea before.

“I have always been interested in a script or idea which had come in the minds of numerous directors before — to make a biopic on Kishore Kumar. Ranbir is doing that now. Kishore Kumar is an exceptional find among the creative artists of our country, on whose life a biopic would be immensely exciting,” said Advani at the screening of a Marathi film.

The film hasn’t gone into production before now despite Basu being ready with the script. He had admitted he was feeling frustrated due to Ranbir’s busy line-up of films.
