Dil choo legi music director’s story
Salman Khan’s film ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ is making a splash at the box office. The craze for the songs of the film is also raising the heads of the people.

But his journey has not been easy at all.

People also know Ravi Basrur by the name of Kiran, he was born in a very poor family. Before earning a name in the world of music, he used to do idol crafting. Due to financial constraints, he has also worked as a labourer, goldsmith and tailor.

days spent in the toilet
Talking about the days of his struggle, he told in an interview that he used to make idols during the day. Used to play music in pubs and restaurants at night. Once someone promised him that he would give him a chance to work in a big pub. Ravi left all the work and reached there. But as soon as he reached the place, he saw that the pub was raided by the police. This was the moment when he felt that all his dreams were shattered.

He says, I was broken. There was no job, nor was there a roof to live. There was no option to go back to the previous job. When I reached Thane railway station, the police caught hold of my guitar and broke my tabla. To know whether there is a bomb in it. There was a bomb blast that day.

forced to sell kidney
The music director’s life was going through a bad phase. He reached Mangalore from Bombay. Kept crying in the train the whole night. He didn’t have a job. He was even ready to sell his kidney to run the family. But as soon as he reached the hospital, he got nervous and could not sell the kidney. In difficult times, he lived in a public toilet. Due to lack of money, Ravi used to go to the temple and eat food.

such a turn of luck
It is said that after every dark night there is a golden morning. That happy moment also came in the life of the music director. Through a friend, he got a job in a radio station for Rs 15,000. Just what then. He worked hard and got his first film break with Arjun Gyan in ‘Ugram’. After this he worked in Yash’s KGF and created a stir with the music.

At the same time, he got a chance to work in Salman Khan’s film ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’. Ravi Basrur has proved with his hard work and courage that if you have talent then you will definitely get your destination.
