Basu has expressed his excitement about working with his trusted collaborator Bhushan Kumar and music composer Pritam, highlighting the importance of music in the film’s narrative.
Anurag Basu is known for his diverse storytelling, with films like Barfi, Ludo, and Jagga Jasoos under his belt. Fans are now eagerly awaiting the release of both Aashiqui 3 and Metro In Dino, as the filmmaker continues to create compelling, music-driven narratives.
