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.
According to reports, the legendary singer’s family had reservations about giving their nod to the biopic. But they have now given their approval. Meanwhile, Basu is hosting a TV show Stories by Rabindranath Tagore for Epic channel.
