Pritam is really kicked up about Anurag Basu's new idea, calls it a 'new animal'

Pritam reveals excitement for Anurag Basu’s untitled project, comparing it to ‘Life in a Metro’ and Kartik Aaryan’s upcoming film.

"“I have the same excitement for that idea like I had at the time of ‘Life in a Metro’, that’s a new animal idea.” – Pritam"

Mumbai, Aug 10

Music composer Pritam, who recently collaborated with director Anurag Basu for ‘Metro... In Dino’, has shared that he is really kicked up about a new idea from the director.

Pritam spoke with IANS following the success of the ‘Metro... In Dino’, and shared that Anurag has shared a new idea with him, and he is as excited for the yet-to-be-titled project as he was for ‘Life in a Metro’.

Pritam told IANS, “He has two or three ideas like new ideas. There’s one idea, I can’t talk much about it but I can tell I have the same excitement for that idea like I had at the time of ‘Life in a Metro’, that’s a new animal idea. I don't know when Anurag is going to make it, but I'm super duper excited about that idea. A brand new animal. I hope he makes it fast”.

He then went on to heap praise on Anurag’s upcoming film with Kartik Aaryan, as he said, “His next film, the next romantic film with Kartik and for T-Series, is also a very good script. Incredible script. I mean, if the actors pull it off, it’s gonna be massive. It's a very good script. However, it's not a new monster. New animal is another script. I can’t wait to begin working on it. It’s still in its initial stages though”.

Pritam and Anurag are frequent collaborators, and have been working together for almost 3 decades now. Their journey started with television, and later they went separate ways when they entered films.

The two collaborated for the first time cinematically for ‘Gangster’. Songs like ‘Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai’, ‘Ya Ali’, ‘Lamha Lamha’, ‘Bheegi Bheegi’ are some of the memorable tracks from the album with a high repeat value.

The two later collaborated on ‘Life in a Metro’ marking Bollywood’s first all rock album.

Excited but also skeptical. Their last few collaborations haven't matched the magic of Gangster and Life in a Metro. Hope this "new animal" brings back that spark!

Ya Ali and Bheegi Bheegi still play on loop in my playlist! These two understand urban romance like no one else. Basu's vision + Pritam's music = 🔥

Why so much hype before anything is even finalized? Bollywood needs to stop with these premature announcements. First make something concrete na!

Their music defined my college days! Hope this new project brings that same youthful energy. Also curious about the Kartik Aaryan film - Pritam calling it "massive" is promising!

"New animal" sounds interesting but I hope it's not just marketing talk. Their music in Gangster was revolutionary for its time. Need that level of innovation again!
