Filmmaker\u00a0Anurag Kashyap\u00a0has made a surprising announcement about his plans to leave\u00a0Mumbai, expressing deep dissatisfaction with the Hindi film industry. In a recent interview with\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter India, the director of\u00a0Gangs of Wasseypur\u00a0voiced his frustration with what he perceives as a “stifling” environment shaped by the industry’s current practices and attitudes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Creative Burnout in Filmmaking<\/h3>\n

\u201cI am moving out of Mumbai,\u201d Kashyap stated firmly, citing the rising costs of filmmaking and an increasing emphasis on profitability over creativity as primary reasons for his discontent.\u00a0\u201cNow 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,\u201d he lamented.\u00a0<\/span>Kashyap plans to relocate to the\u00a0South, where he feels there is greater creative stimulation.\u00a0\u201cI 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,\u201d\u00a0he expressed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Criticism of Talent Management Agencies<\/h3>\n

The director did not hold back when discussing talent management agencies, accusing them of exploiting young actors for profit while prioritizing stardom over genuine talent development.\u00a0\u201cNobody wants to act\u2014they all want to be stars. The agency won\u2019t 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,\u201d\u00a0he explained, criticizing the focus on glamour over skill development.<\/span>He recounted an incident involving an actor who distanced themselves based on agency advice but later returned seeking guidance after being abandoned by the agency.\u00a0\u201cThis is what the agency does\u2014they just make money off you. They aren\u2019t invested in building new careers,\u201d\u00a0he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Disappointment with Friends and Peers<\/h3>\n

Kashyap also expressed disappointment with actors he once considered friends.\u00a0\u201cMy actors, whom I thought of as friends, ghost you because they want to be a certain way. That happens mostly here; it doesn\u2019t happen in Malayalam cinema,\u201d\u00a0he remarked. His disillusionment with the Hindi film industry stands in stark contrast to his recent experience in\u00a0Malayalam cinema, where he made his acting debut in the film\u00a0Rifle Club.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
