Interesting! Anurag Basu reveals the one aspect that is integral to his film-writing process

Anurag Basu

MUMBAI: Music is an integral part of Anurag Basu’s life and films. The director starts and ends his day by listening to his favourite songs.

He is one of those rare filmmakers to cleverly use music to further the story of his films. That’s why his films like Murder, Gangster, Life in a… Metro, Barfi, and Jagga Jasoos are a hit with music lovers.

“Music is an integral part of my movies and my life. From morning till evening, I’m always listening to music… all kinds of music. Since it is there in my life, it naturally seeps into my movies as well,” Basu said.

He added, “I cannot write a single line of a script if I’m not listening to music. So, it is very organic that music becomes important for storytelling in my movies.”

Anurag was keen to make a biopic on Kishore Kumar for the longest time. Though the project could not take off, he said it is his personal wish that the singer’s story is told on the big screen. “Last I heard that filmmaker Amit Kumar (the singer’s son) wanted to make the movie on Kishore Kumar. “But whoever it is, I want this film to be made immediately. I have always loved Kishore Kumar and want his story to be told on the screen,” he shared.

Moreover, he is aware of his biggest weakness and is trying to overcome it.

“There has never been any self-criticism but I often doubt myself. Whenever I complete a script, I start doubting myself. I believe that this is my biggest drawback. When you write something good, then one shouldn’t question it again and again as it can ruin your hard work. But I’m trying to overcome this,” he said.
