Despite the failure of ‘Jagga Jaasoos’, Anurag Basu continues to remain one of the most prolific filmmakers in the Hindi film industry. Last year, the filmmaker quietly started shooting his next film, starring Abhishek Bachchan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Rajkummar Rao, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra and Pankaj Tripathi, in Kolkata. While not much is known about the film, it is said to be an action comedy consisting of different chapters.
More than a decade back, Anurag had experimented with a similar format, in a different genre, with ‘Life In A Metro’. The film, loosely inspired by the Hollywood films ‘Brief Encounter’ and ‘The Apartment’ was quite successful at the box-office and is remembered for the wonderful music by Pritam.
The yet untitled film has got a release date now. The film, produced by Bhushan Kumar, Divya Khosla Kumar, Anurag Basu, Tani Somarita Basu and Krishan Kumar, will hit the screens on January 24, 2020.
