Take a look at a recent promo of India's Best Dancer 4 here:
Sharing details about his close encounter with Micheal Jackson, Anurag Basu said, "We were shooting this song in a very big mansion in LA, and we were given a large bedroom to use as a makeup room. Suddenly, someone came and said we had to empty the room because Michael Jackson was coming to see the property, as he was planning to rent it. We didn’t take it seriously at first, but then they said, no, no, he's not coming; someone else, a real estate agent, is coming and we continued shooting."
Basu added that then, Michael Jackson actually showed up. They were shooting, and his car arrived. "And you should have seen Duggu—he's such a huge fan of Michael Jackson. I saw him go crazy, asking for a photo with him. It was just surprising—Michael Jackson visited when we were shooting this song on set. Duggu (Hrithik Roshan) and I were frozen, speechless. There are some lovely memories attached to this film."
Anurag Basu's compliment for Nepo and Vartika
Talking about Nepo and Vartika's performance, Anurag mentioned that he loved the performance and said, "Beautiful! Should I go back and reshoot the song? (Laughs). Very well done, very beautiful, graceful, and just stunning. Vartika and Nepo, you both are working together for the first time and you’re amazing. It's difficult to match up to Vartika, but Nepo, you are a very graceful dancer, very gentle, and incredibly beautiful.”
Anurag Basu recalls late singer KK
Dil Kyun Yeh Mera is sung by the renowned late singer KK. Anurag Basu mentioned being remembered of him as the song started to play. He said, "When this act started, the first thought that came to my mind was KK. I miss him so much. Some of my best songs, whether it's Gangster: A Love Story or Life in a... Metro, KK has given me such amazing songs, and this is one of them. Unfortunately, he is no longer with us."
