After trying to remain involved with filmmaking, Basu became an assistant director to Raman Kumar on Tara.[4]
Career[edit]

Basu was in his mid-twenties when he began his television career as an assistant director on Tara, directing about 70 episodes.[5] He directed television serials, trying genres ranging from daily soaps to thrillers such as Saturday Suspense and Ajeeb Dastaan and horror (X-Zone). Basu's most successful work during this period was the Balaji Telefilms soap Koshish ...Ek Aashaa in 2000 and made pilot episodes of Indian television shows including Kyun ki saans bhi kabhi bahu thi, Kahani ghar ghar ki, Kasouti zindagi ki[6] in 2001 and 2002.

Films[edit]
Basu made his directorial film debut in 2003 with the slasher film Kucch To Hai, starring Tusshar Kapoor, Esha Deol and Anita Hassanandani. It was produced by Ekta Kapoor, with whom he had worked on Koshish ...Ek Aashaa. Basu left the film midway through production, replaced by Anil V. Kumar took charge; it failed commercially[8] and critically.[9]
He joined Mahesh Bhatt's production company, Vishesh Films, where he directed his next three films. The first was mystery-drama Saaya starring John Abraham and Tara Sharma, which failed at the box office and was panned by critics for its loose screenplay.[10]
Basu's third film was 2004's Murder. The film dealt with adultery and contained sex scenes, unusual for Indian cinema. Despite its "A" certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification. It was well received by critics, who appreciated performances by Mallika Sherawat, Emraan Hashmi and Ashmit Patel.[11] Basu's next movie was Gangster, in which he first collaborated with Pritam (who later scored Life in a... Metro). He was diagnosed with acute leukemia in 2004,[12] halfway through Tumsa Nahin Dekha. Basu was immediately hospitalised, directing parts of the film from his hospital bed. He gave instructions by dictaphone for camera angles and script changes, withMahesh Bhatt and Mohit Suri completing the film[13] while the director underwent chemotherapy.
His next film was 2010's Kites, starred Hrithik Roshan, Bárbara Mori and Kangana Ranaut.
In 2012 Basu's film Barfi!, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D'Cruz, opened to largely-positive reviews and was well received at the Busan International Film Festival.[14] Barfi! was selected for the Taipei and Morocco film festivals. It was India's entry for the Academy Awards, which was criticized after Basu was accused of plagiarizing several Hollywood films. and was a box-office hit during its opening week, earning Rs. 586 million,[15]and was the third-highest-grossing film that year.[16]
His thriller film Jagga Jasoos has been shooting in Cape Town, South Africa. Originally planned for a release in 2014, schedule conflicts set back release until May 2015.[17] Produced by Basu and Ranbir Kapoor's new production company (Picture Shuru Entertainment) in association with Disney Studios, actors under consideration were Ranbir Kapoor,[18] Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif[19][20] and Alia Bhatt[21] were under consideration for lead roles.[22]Filming is underway in Cape Town,[23] and after completion, the film was originally scheduled to release in 2014 but, due to conflicting commitments by the lead actors, the film has been re-scheduled to release on 29 May 2015.[24] Reports from Cape Town were that the real-world romance of leads Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif and occasional arguments between the two caused some delays and resulted in scenes not having the import intended by director Anurag Basu.[25][26] By 20 March 2014, the director had completed 20 days of filming with his leads and, being unhappy with initial efforts by actor Ranbir Kapoor,[27] intends to use the additional schedule time to re-shoot some scenes.[28]
