Ranbir as Kishore Katrina as Madhubala in Anurag Basu’s next

Anurag Basu is planning a biopic on the late actor, director and singer Kishore Kumar and for this venture he has signed Ranbir Kapoor to play the character of Kishore Kumar. His lady love in the movie will be none other than Katrina Kaif. Katrina will be playing the role of Madubala in the movie.

It seems that Katrina has already started watching Classics movies of Madubala like Chalti Ka Naam Gadi, Mugal e Azam , Mahal etc to bring in the perfection in her character. The makers are planning to recreate the magic of the song ‘ Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si’ which was picturised on Kishore Kumar and Madhubala in the film Chalti Ka Naam Gadi.

Earlier Anurag Basu had signed Katrina for his movie Silence, which Katrina refused when she came to know that Priyanka Chopra is playing a pivotal role in the movie. In spite of this incident there is no grudge between the director and the actress and both are looking forward to make a great movie ahead.

Kishore Kumar's son Amit Kumar will sing in Ranbir's next film

Anurag Basu’s biopic on Kishore Kumar (starring Ranbir Kapoor) will have the legendary singer’s son, Amit Kumar, doing the playback.

Says Anurag, “I recently saw Amit on a Bengali music reality show. I was zapped. The older he gets, the more he resembles his father in expression, body language and zest for life. I will definitely get Amit to sing for Ranbir in the film.”

Incidentally, Kishore Kumar’s younger son Sumeet sang a version of Kishore’s Bachna ae haseenon for Ranbir. Now it’s Kishore’s elder son Amit’s turn to sing for the actor.

Anurag is also in touch with other members of Kishore Kumar’s family. “I was delighted when Leenaji (Chandavarkar) said she was familiar with my work and had full faith that I would do justice to Kishoreda’s biopic.”

The film will cover every aspect of the singer’s life - including the Madhubala chapter. “I will be putting Kishoreda’s life on screen in totality. As a singer, actor, writer, composer, husband, father... everything. It’s a challenge. Let’s see if I’m up to it,” says Anurag.

Shooting for the film starts as soon as Anurag completes Silence.
