Filmmaker Anurag Basu

Filmmaker Anurag Basu last helmed Jagga Jasoos (2017), featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif in lead roles. It has been close to two years since his fans have not seen his work on the silver screen.

Basu is currently working on his next film, which still remains untitled. Looking at the impressive star cast of the movie, we assume that the filmmaker is coming up with something really exciting.

The project is said to be an anthology drama, featuring Abhishek Bachchan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Rajkumar Rao, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra and Pankaj Tripathi in important characters.

Today, the makers announced the new release date of the film. Earlier scheduled to enter theatres on 6th September, the yet-to-be-titled film will now rock cinemas on 21st February, 2020.

Earlier, there were rumours that the movie is a sequel to Basu’s 2007 multi-starrer Life In A Metro. However, the filmmaker recently confirmed that apart from revolving around four different stories set in a quintessential Indian metro, there is no similarity between both the projects.

The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Divya Khosla Kumar and Tani Somarita Basu.
