Anurag Kashyap, a modern Indian film pioneer, has redefined the boundaries of narrative with his unique directorial vision and unflinching devotion to realism. From Gangs of Wasseypur to Sacred Games, the filmmaker has repeatedly been the topic of criticism, especially for his unconventional viewpoints.
Continuing on that path, he recently stunned the internet by announcing that he will now charge anyone who wants to meet and exchange ideas.
Anurag Kashyap came to Instagram on Saturday to share a cautionary message with everyone. It read, “I wasted a lot of time trying to help newcomers and mostly ended up with mediocre s**t. So Now onwards I don’t want to waste my time with meeting random people who think they’re creative geniuses. So I will now have rates. If some one wants to meet me for 10-15 minutes I will charge 1 lac, for half hour 2 lacs and for 1 hour 5 lacs. That’s the rate. I am tired of wasting time meeting people. If you really think you can afford it, call me or stay the f**k away. And all paid in advance.”

He further penned the caption, “And I mean it Don’t text or dm or call me Pay and you will get time. I am not a charity and I am tired of people looking for shortcuts.”
Meanwhile, Anurag Kashyap appears to be planning to make his directorial debut in Tamil cinema. According to recent conjecture, the Gangs of Wasseypur director will collaborate with Tamil actor and musician GV Prakash on a project.
Anurag had previously worked in Tamil cinema, making his acting debut in the 2018 film Imaikkaa Nodigal, alongside Nayanthara, Vijay Sethuprathi, and Atharva. He also made a cameo appearance in Thalapathy Vijay’s film Leo. He is currently planning to direct his first Tamil film, alongside none other than GV Prakash.
According to sources, the film will be multilingual, with the majority of sequences shot in Hindi and dubbed into Telugu, Tamil, and other languages. This alliance has piqued moviegoers’ interest. According to insiders, filming will begin in May. It is being billed as a high-budget entertainment that will keep spectators glued to the screen. This collaboration will also mark GV Prakash’s debut in Bollywood.
Anurag Kashyap is a huge fan of Tamil films and usually posts reviews on newly released South films. In the credits to his hit film Gangs of Wasseypur, he names actor-director Sasikumar’s Subramaniyapuram. On the job front, his recent flicks have performed poorly at the box office. His most recent films are Dobaaraa (with Taapsee Pannu), Almost Pyaar (with DJ Mohabbat), and Kennedy.
