Anurag Kashyap says Shah Rukh Khan has advised him not to be on Twitter; he declined the opportunity to write Asoka: ‘He is like a big brother’

Anurag Kashyap, who has been hyping Shah Rukh Khan and Pathaan, said, "Woh toh mere college ke senior hain. Unka phone aata hain toh main phone attend karne ke liye khada ho jata hoon (Shah Rukh is my senior from college, I stand up and take his call, whenever he calls me)."

"He has given up on me. Unko lagta hain ki mujhe kuch samajh nahi aayega, mera kuch nahi ho sakta (Shah Rukh thinks I do not understand things). He is like a big brother, who keeps telling me what I must not do. He told me why I should not say somethings, why should I not be on Twitter," Anurag said in an interview to Unfiltered by Samdish.

He added, "Mere ko har cheeze ke bare mein bola unhone, filmein bhi. Pehle Asoka aayi thi mere paas likhne ke liye. Unke bahut sare aise projects aate the, par main tabhi se thoda avoid karta tha. Woh Shah Rukh Khan hain, unka ek stardom hai, ek worldview hai. Main jaisi film banana chahta hoon, mujhe wahi banana hai. It is not just him, everybody, who cares about me, wants me to see life the way they see it. Aap bole na saving nahi karte ho, practical kyun nahi hote ho, everything that a normal person should do or must do in the eyes of the world, woh (Shah Rukh) bhi waise hai, sab waise hai. Mujhe waise jeena hi nahi hai (Shah Rukh has given me advice on many things, A lot of his films were first offered to me as a write, including Asoka. But I have always avoided them as Shah Rukh has a worldview, stardom, and I cannot make films that do him justice. I want to make films my way. Like others, who care for me and want me to save money or become more practical, Shah Rukh, too, has tried, but I want to live my life my way)..."
