Controversies addressed
Kashyap explains the income tax raid at his house
Kashyap also addressed the Income Tax raid at his house in 2021. He revealed, "It had more to do with Phantom Films, because we got out and we split, and the valuation." "What was there? What wasn't there? Who has it? Who doesn't have it? All that kind of thing happened."
Film perspective
'I never thought what would be made...'
The filmmaker also discussed his movies. When asked about his perception of Gangs of Wasseypur as a masterpiece, Kashyap said, "I love making films. I never had the end result in mind." "I never thought what would be made. I just wanted to honestly make a film." He added that he believed Bombay Velvet was his masterpiece, not Gangs of Wasseypur.
Film journey
'Nobody wanted to see 'Nishaanchi'
Kashyap spent eight years perfecting Nishaanchi, believing it to be a masterpiece. However, he was disappointed by the audience's lack of interest. "By the time it came out, nobody wanted to see the film," he said. "After the film was released, I was talking to my producer that, 'Do you think I should just sit down and try and make a faster cut for today's generation?' But that is not how I wanted to make this film."
