Jagga Jasoos again after Barfi!, will also be co-producing the film
with the star and
said their "business partnership" will bring
"new dynamics" to their equation.
"The status is that the script is ready.
There will be new dynamics this time as
Ranbir and I will be partnering in business
- we both are producing it. Everyone
wants to work with him...so he will have
to finish those two films and come to me," Basu said.
He was speaking at the acting workshop -
100 years of Indian cinema: An actor
Prepares - conducted by Anupam Kher on
the second day of the ongoing 14th
International Indian Film Academy (IIFA)
awards.
Last year Basu's Barfi, starring Ranbir along with Priyanka Chopra and Ileana
D'Cruz, not only did a brisk business at the
box office, but also won him many
awards. The director confesses that he did
not expect so many honours.
"I was not expecting such a big response
at award functions. IIFA has been
overwhelming for technical awards that
we received. It has been amazing," he
said.
"When you don't get an award, you say it
doesn't mean anything to us. But when
you get it, you feel happy. As a child too, I
loved keeping awards on the shelf. It
gives inspiration to everyone around you
as well. It is great. When I will be old, these awards will have more value," he
added.
Meanwhile, the director is set to produce
more films this year. "After this, I will be announcing my next
films. I have written many stories, which I
will be producing and other directors will
direct them. We will start shooting this
year itself," he said.
There were reports that the director has
bought the rights of popular crime TV
series "Prison Break", but he denied it.
"That was just a rumour. I have not bought
the rights. I don't want to remake it as I
don't want to do too much of TV." Recently seen judging TV reality show
"India's Best Dramebaaz", Basu would like
to remake some old Hindi shows.
"I want to remake Zindagi, I would love to remake Tamas as well," he said.
