Anurag Basu busy working with Ranbir for next two years

Anurag Basu is impressed by the acting skills of a lot of young actors, but the filmmaker says he won't work with any other actor apart from Ranbir Kapoor for at least two more years.

The duo had teamed up for the 2012 hit film "Barfi!" and are now working on "Jagga Jasoos".

"Ranbir is a good friend. If I am making a film and he suits the character... it's not like I am making a film with Ranbir on mind, but he is a good actor. He is versatile, which makes it easy for any filmmaker and we have a great time shooting together," Basu, who was one of the panelists on "How to shoot a film in Korea" at the Film Bazaar here, told IANS.

"There are many actors who have impressed me. But this ("Jagga Jasoos" and the next film on late singer Kishore Kumar) are with Ranbir. I don't think I will work with any other actor apart from Ranbir for the next two years," he said.

The two are also partners of production house Picture Shuru Productions.

So Ranbir is doing two biopics as of now? This one and Sunjay Dutt's with a Raju Hirani?

I think he would suit playing Kishore Kumar more.

Yup, but Hirani usually takes 4-5 years gap between films. Kishore Kumar script is done so I think they will start in 2016 after Ayan's film. Ranbir needs to gain weight for the role so will have give 6 months for the film.
