Even as Shoojit Sircar’s film on the life songs and art of Kishore Kumar written by Rensil d’Silva is put on hold, two other filmmakers have come forward to claim a part of Kishore’s life.
Avant-garde director Sudhir Mishra is ready to make a Kishore Kumar epic. “My favourite filmmaker, and one of the primary influences on my life and career is Guru Dutt. However a film on his life seems difficult if not impossible. Guru Dutt has already borrowed chapters of his own life in Pyasa and Kagaz Ke Phool. Making a Kishore Kumar bio-pic would be a dream come true. No one knows the real Kishore.”
