Kishore Kumar's biopic will start next year, says Anurag Basu

Mumbai: Filmmaker Anurag Basu, who will be directing a biopic on late actor-singer Kishore Kumar, says the film is taking a lot of time and will now start next year. However, he will start another film by May this year.

"I am writing three films right now and will select one of them and then make it. This is because the biopic of Kishore Kumar will take a lot of time and now it might start next year," Basu said here Thursday at the inauguration of Wassup Andheri Fest.

"But before that, I have to make another film. It will start soon by April or May. So the preparations for that are going on," he added.
