Busker started with an idea to make a Malaysian movie with music as the tool to drive the story. Director Syed Khairul Fariz recalled a chat he had with producer Syahrul Imran Sharifuddin.
“We started by listing some music movies that we like such as Once (2006), Begin Again (2013) and Sing Street (2016). We asked ourselves what we liked about them and wondered if we could incorporate any of those elements into a Malaysian movie,” Khairul said during an interview in Kuala Lumpur.
