Anurag Kashyap on being disappointed with industry and leaving Mumbai

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the filmmaker said, “Right from the beginning, before the film starts, it becomes about how do we sell it. So the joy of filmmaking is sucked out. That’s why I want to move out. Literally, next year I am moving out of Mumbai. I am going to the South. Because I want to go where there is stimulation. Otherwise, I will die out as an old man.”

“I am so disappointed by my own industry. Not just disappointed, I am disgusted by the mindset that’s here. A script like Manjummel Boys would never be made in Hindi. But when the film becomes a hit, definitely a Hindi filmmaker or producer will say, ‘Let’s remake it.’ The next day they will call me and ask, ‘You know the filmmaker? Can we get the remake rights?’ This is the mindset here. Let’s just remake what’s already worked. But they don’t understand anything and will not try anything new which does not have a reference point. I’m so disgusted,” he further continued and stated.

Anurag Kashyap on star culture

In the same interview, Kashyap also shared that every actor expects to be treated like a star, or else they will feel disrespected. The director said, “When streaming platforms came in and they wanted to make their presence felt, they brought in their whole American way of working. So now, what is wrong is, everybody expects to be treated like a star. Otherwise, they feel disrespected. Half the problem with this industry is they feel disrespected if they aren’t welcomed or ushered in or they are not given their things. Nobody makes films.”
