No producer would touch biopic without legal letter: Anurag Basu

Mumbai: After ‘Barfi!’, Anurag Basu`s next two films are biopics on Bihar`s globally celebrated mathematician Anand Kumar and legendary playback singer Kishore Kumar. The director says "a legal letter of consent" from the respective families is a must before starting the projects.

"I first need signatures on legal documents authorizing me to make films on these two very different and dynamic people. I need to have a letter of consent from Anand and Kishore-da`s families. Luckily for me, both the parties are more than happy to have me making films on Anand and Kishore-da. "Still, there is a great deal of legality and research to go through. No producer would touch a biopic without a legal letter of consent authorizing me to make the film." IANS
