Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has made a startling revelation about his plans to move out of Mumbai, citing his growing discontent with the Hindi film industry. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, the Gangs of Wasseypur director expressed frustration with what he described as the "stifling" environment created by the industry’s current practices and mindsets.

Creative Burnout in Filmmaking “I am moving out of Mumbai,” Kashyap stated emphatically, explaining that his dissatisfaction stems from the escalating costs of filmmaking and the growing focus on profitability over creativity. “Now it is difficult for me to go out and experiment as it comes at a cost, which makes my producers think about profit and margins. Right from the beginning, before the film starts, it becomes about how to sell it. So, the joy of filmmaking is sucked out,” he lamented.

The director revealed his intention to relocate to the South, where he believes there is more creative stimulation. “I want to go where there is stimulation. Otherwise, I will die as an old man. I am so disappointed and disgusted by my own industry,” he said. Criticism of Talent Management Agencies Kashyap reserved harsh criticism for talent management agencies, accusing them of exploiting young actors for profit and prioritizing stardom over genuine talent development. “Nobody wants to act—they all want to be stars. The agency won’t make anybody a star, but the moment someone becomes a star, the agency makes money off them. They will brainwash them and tell them what they need to do to become a star. They won’t send them to workshops but to the gym—it’s all glam-glam because they have to be massive stars,” Kashyap explained.

He also shared an incident involving an actor who distanced themselves on the advice of their agency, only to return seeking guidance after being abandoned by the agency. “This is what the agency does—they just make money off you. They aren’t invested in building new careers,” he added. Ghosted by Friends and Industry Peers Anurag Kashyap further revealed his disappointment with actors he once considered friends. “My actors, whom I thought of as friends, ghost you because they want to be a certain way. That happens mostly here; it doesn’t happen in Malayalam cinema,” he noted.

The filmmaker’s disillusionment with the Hindi film industry contrasts sharply with his recent experience in Malayalam cinema, where he made his acting debut in the film Rifle Club.

Bombay High Court orders stays the release of Hamare Baarah, two days before the film’s release June 07, 2024 at 01:02PM

By Banglore Film City
Hamare Baarah, which is making news for its bold approach and thought-provoking plotline, has been mired in controversy, with the makers landing in deep trouble. The highly anticipated release of Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi starrer, has encountered a significant setback as the Bombay High Court has issued a stay on its release just two days before its scheduled release on June 7, extending the hold until June 14. This unexpected turn of events has impacted the premiere of the film which was expected to be held this week, leaving makers in an uncertain dilemma. The legal obstacle arises from a petition filed by activists from a specific religious community at the Mumbai High Court, opposing the film's release. Producers Birender Bhagat and Ravi S Gupta have raised serious concerns regarding the imposition of the stay, especially given that the film had already obtained a censor certificate. In a recent statement given to NDTV, Mr Bhagat explained their predicame...
