Shoojit Sircar on why he didn’t make Kishore Kumar’s biopic even after in-depth research

Director Shoojit Sircar wanted to create a Kishore Kumar biopic but stepped down after learning about Anurag Basu’s similar project. Sircar spent four years researching and working with Kumar’s family, but didn’t see the point in duplicating effort. Anurag Basu, collaborating with Aamir Khan, is now moving forward with their biopic, generating buzz in Bollywood.
