Filmmaker Anurag Basu will move forward with the Kishore Kumar biopic only after Ranbir Kapoor finishes work on their joint production 'Jagga Jasoos' and Anurag Kashyap's 'Bombay Velvet'.
	The director said he is ready with the script but feels the film needs a lot of preparation and devotion from everyone involved.
	"I am waiting for Ranbir to give me dates at least for six months for Kishore Kumar biopic. It's slightly different film and we don't want anything else to come in between. Ranbir is now juggling 'Bombay Velvet' and 'Jagga Jassos'," Basu told PTI on the sidelines of NFDC's Film Bazaar.
	Contrary to earlier claims, Basu said the legendary singer's family is happy with the way his script has shaped up.
	"I met them personally and they are very happy. They have full faith in me and Ranbir. They are excited to see the final outcome," he said.

Actor Idris Elba is planning to release a music album inspired by his character Luther from TV show 'Luther'.
	Elba, 42, plays detective John Luther in the BBC One series. The album has been given the working title, 'Murder Loves John', reported BBC.
	"I'd like to dissect the idea of someone who has to deal with so much darkness. Detectives carry a lot of stuff. They meet someone who's done something heinous, but they have to have an objective perspective on them until proven. That could create some really good songs... And definitely an interesting mood, musically," he said.
	The project is intended as the first of a series of albums which are character-inspired.
	He added Wilson he believed singer David Bowie would be a significant influence on the album.
	"Luther listens to Bowie. He likes Bowie. John loves the idea that David's music is escapism for a complex mind. I'm not saying that I am going to make an album that sounds like a Bowie album. I'm just saying that would be an ...

	"It might be three films. It could be four. It could be five. Who knows? The journey will continue. It might not necessarily be summarized or completely fulfilled in this next one. The point being, eventually we know that we're going to end up back at 'The Planet of the Apes', but whether it's this film or not, I don't know," Serkis said.
	 "To be honest, it's very, very early in where we choose to drop our anchor in the next film, so it could be five years after the event. It could be the night after the events of where we left 'Dawn', so it's very difficult to know where the story is going right at this moment because it's being written as we speak. I know part of the desire for Matt Reeves to do this next movie about continuing the enjoyment of seeing these apes evolve," he added.

Actor Orlando Bloom says doing 'The Hobbit' and 'Lord of the Rings' series has been a privilege for him and his character in the films is his most defining role ever.
	The 37-year-old star played elf Legolas in both the series. Bloom said he was delighted to to be asked to reprise his 'Lord of the Rings' role in the prequel movies ('The Hobbit') especially because the elf doesn't play much of a part in JRR Tolkein's original book, reported Contactmusic.
