    Anurag Kashyap is one of the sharpest cinematic minds in India. Apart from being a fine filmmaker, he is an actor too who is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming web series Bad Cop. 

    Recently during an exclusive house tour with Pinkvilla, Kashyap revealed that he saw his life’s biggest screen at Ranbir Kapoor’s house.

    While giving a house tour to team Pinkvilla, Anurag Kashyap showed his screening room which used to be his bedroom earlier and was also shown in the 2020 film AK vs AK. The filmmaker-actor’s room is full of stacked film DVDs and he mentioned that most of them are yet to be brought there because his house has recently gone through renovation.

    There’s a big screen along with a projector, and comfortable sofas where he says that visitors can sleep over too. As Anurag opens up about watching films with his team, actors, and filmmakers in the room, he adds how he saw his life’s biggest TV screen at Ranbir Kapoor‘s previous home. “I don’t know abhi uska naya ghar dekha nahi main uske purane ghar ki baat kar raha hoon. (I haven’t seen his new home, I am talking about the one where he lived earlier),” he said.

    Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal was a blockbuster at the box office and as much as it was praised, it also received a similar amount of criticism for its glorification of gore violence, and misogyny. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has now jumped in Vanga’s defense and has called out the hypocrisy of people slamming his movie.

    While speaking to Zoom recently, the Gangs of Wasseypur director admitted that he likes Vanga and has no problem with him. “Unlike a lot of people in the industry who pretend to be someone they are not, he is honest. The former kind, I think, is even more toxic. But Vanga is an honest man”, Anurag said adding he doesn’t like anything more than honesty.

    Anurag claims that ‘impactful’ Animal made the action sequences shown in previous movies seem fake. He believes, “It changed so many things in terms of real action scenes, and it was an adult film of three and a half hours.” Addressing the same, Kashyap said that his film Bombay Velvet suffered a lot due to its run-time being chopped off vehemently by CBFC.

    “I should have been stubborn like Sandeep and fought back to keep my version. You can argue with his creative vision, and he gives space to argue. But what do we do in general? We only attack and cancel people. We don’t discuss or debate”, Anurag said.

    Anurag further added that he can understand people pointing out the bad things in Animal but why no one talked about the good things. He felt everybody was ‘isolating and attacking’ Sandeep instead of having a conversation with him.

    The Black Friday director in the same conversation called out the hypocrisy of “people who criticized Animal, abused and canceled the film, and then went and watched it, despite knowing what it’s about, and then double-cancelled it.”

    Anurag questioned why everybody was only attacking Sandeep Reddy Vanga for Animal and not other people associated with the project. “Also, the film is called ‘Animal,’ not ‘human being.’ Sometimes I feel we have become overly woke. We just form opinions and accuse people,” Kashyap signed off.
