Kapoor and Basu come together to begin their production house Picture Shuru Productions
MUMBAI: After the success of the critically acclaimed ‘Barfi‘ which commercially too, raked in nearly Rs 120 crore worldwide, the successful ‘jodi‘ of Anurag Basu and Bollywood‘s youngest heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor have yet again come together. However it‘s not a movie we are referring to here, as the duo is going a step further in strengthening their ties by opening their own production house, ‘Picture Shuru Productions‘.
As reported by Desimartini, Ranbir and Anurag locked onto this name for their banner house from the lyrics of a song in ‘Barfi‘. Apparently they were hooked to the word, since they first heard the recording of the song.
Evidently, the movies to be produced under this new banner would see Ranbir Kapoor in the lead while Basu would be once again be seen behind the camera. Their very first venture too has been set, named ‘Jagga Jasoos‘, where the audience will see Ranbir playing the role of a sleuth, named Jagga. The movie is expected to go on floors by this year end.
Ranbir meanwhile remains busy with a series of movies lined up with Anurag Kashyup. He is currently shooting for Abhinav Kashyap‘s ‘Besharam‘ and will follow it up with ‘Bombay Velvet‘. Kapoor and Kashyup are also trying to finalise the details of the Kishore Kumar‘s biopic, which is one of the dream projects of Basu.
