Anurag Kashyap's direction has always been considered to be unique. The director, who has been showing his acting prowess also, lately went on a social media rant, aiming at those who 'waste his time'. Kashyap went on to say that henceforth he will be charging anyone who wants to secure a meeting with him.
Anurag's post read, "I wasted a lot of time trying to help newcomers and mostly ended up with mediocre sh'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 someone 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."
