Gangs of Wasseypur director Anurag Kashyap has made a big revelation about his frustration with the state of affairs in the Hindi film industry. He talked about how the obsession with profit and margins is becoming a hurdle for people trying to experiment. The filmmaker expressed how he is ‘deeply disappointed and frustrated’ with the mindset prevalent in the industry.
In a conversation with Hollywood Reporter India, Kashyap shared how the process has changed and how, before the beginning of a film, producers talk about profits right from the start of the shoot. While talking about how the ‘joy of filmmaking is sucked out,’ he said, “Because now it comes at a cost. Which makes my producer start thinking about profits and margins. 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.”
