The Hindi film industry has been bringing out many history-inspired films, of late, that we thought had been shrouded. The previous era boasts a lot of unique and authentic artists. And within the ocean of legendary Indian film composers, the one that shines absolutely bright is none other than R.D. Burman. He is still one of the most notable composers, though it has been two and a half decades since his demise. Now, the latest news is that his life will soon be showcased on a 70mm courtesy book-to-screen adaptation of R.D. Burman: The Prince Of Music.

Nideas, a production company that is owned by Prosenjit Chatterjee, along with Fresh Lime Films, director Akash Chawla and Arunava Joy Sen Gupta came together to announce the project.

Prosenjit Chatterjee revealed, “For me, the music of Indian Film Industry means RD Burman. He has a huge impact on the film industry. When I directed my first Bengali movie, I always thought of having RD as my Music Director. I was more than surprised when he agreed to do the music and also sung a song for the film. It was a blessing for me and my film. When I read this book I thought it is high time to pay a tribute to this man who is God to this industry. It is not only a tribute from our end but from the entire film fraternity.”

Akash Chawla and  Arunava Joy Sen Gupta added, “With our web series ‘Karenjit Kaur: The Untold Story of Sunny Leone’ and our Marathi film ‘Anandi Gopal’ that remains the highest box office grossing Marathi film of 2019 so far, we could bring to life amazing stories of extraordinary people. We are happy to now adapt this book that will bring to life the legend Pancham da, whose music has immortalised him forever.”

The book opened to rave reviews and went on to win the National Film Award for Best Book on Cinema in 2011. The book deeply explores the phenomenon we know as R.D. Burman and how he changed the way Indians perceived Hindi film music. RD revolutionized Hindi film music in the 1970s with his emphasis on rhythm and beats. Aren’t you all excited about this?
