It’s been ten years that director Anurag Basu and music director Pritam have been friends. "True friendship is very rare in this cut-throat film industry," smiles Anurag. The director reveals that he met Pritam when he wanted a music director to score a title track for the serial he was making then. "I was staying at Mira Road then. Pritam was put up at Kandivali. It was those days when we were still struggling to gain foothold in the entertainment industry. But ever since he scored music for my serial I have repeated him in all the serials that I have directed till date," says Anurag.
Anurag adds, "It was while working with him I also got to know that we had been trained from the same film institute, FTII." Anurag says that if he had his way, he would have roped Pritam to score the music of Murder too. "But you see I did not have Murder and Pritam did not have Dhoom to his credit then. We had to carve a niche for ourselves! Today of course the tables have turned and I have Pritam scoring the music for Gangster and Life In A… Metro."
Such thick is the friendship between Anurag and Pritam that they have chosen to be neighbours and bought flats in the same building. "It is our wives now who get together and yell at us if we come home late from work." Ask him the one quality that appeals to him about Pritam and Anurag quickly replies, "His innocence! There is a child-like innocence that Pritam has and that is a very rare quality a person can possess especially in the film industry. Also he is very humble and unpretentious. Very rarely do you find people who can be good friends. Pritam is one of them."
