Anurag Kashyap calls Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat his “biggest flop”; defies expectations
Acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has said that he will continue to make films that he believes in, even if there is a section of the audience that will only appreciate him when he makes "violent" gangster movies.
Anurag Kashyap calls Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat his “biggest flop”; defies expectations
Kashyap, whose three-decade-long career is dotted with political dramas, thrillers, and sci-fi mysteries, said that his last four directorials - Manmarziyaan, Choked, Dobaaraa and Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat - have all explored interpersonal relationships, sometimes even with an undertone of political commentary.
"Even though the budgets were low, Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat is my biggest flop. It is equivalent to No Smoking," Kashyap told Indianexpress.com. The musical romantic drama featured Alaya F and newcomer Karan Mehta.
"But luckily for Almost Pyaar, it had a second life on Netflix. It is very much my film; it is close to me, and I love that film. There were people who were disappointed that it wasn't a gangster film and said, 'What has happened to him?' That's their problem honestly," the director added.
Explaining his take further, the Gangs Of Wasseypur director added, "They watch Kennedy and say, 'Oh Anurag is back!' I mean, I just released a film two months ago, I didn't go anywhere. It's just you want me to keep making crime films but there's so much more one has to offer! I'm making films that I want to make. I'm not a caterer. I'll not cater to what you expect from me. I'll not fall into that trap of repeating a formula."
He concluded by saying, "For a section, I'm only 'back' when there's violence in my movies. If there's violence or a character abuse, they're like, 'Oh he's back!' Their idea of Anurag Kashyap is as limited as their idea of Sunny Leone.”
