Anurag Kashyap had a fascinating conversation with Komal Nahta and revealed that as a producer, he tries to be a part of the initial films of a director. He remarked, “Directors baukhla jaaye uske pehle main unke saath film banana chahta hoon!”
Anurag added, “I feel that every filmmaker goes a bit crazy after some point. Even today, I feel that if my (yet-unreleased) film Paanch had got a timely release in cinemas, I wouldn’t have been the person that I am today.”
He continued, “I remember Paanch had several trials. Boney Kapoor ji offered me a film at that time. Those were the days when I had arrogance. He asked me, ‘Why are you not making a film? Tu Bandra se Juhu ke beech kisi bhi building pe ungli rakh de. Uss building mein tujhe flat dilwata hoon’! I wondered, ‘My film hasn’t been released and he’s offering me a flat. After my film releases, I’ll be offered a bungalow’!”
In this interview, Anurag also lashed out at inflated ticket rates in cinemas, “Not just ticket prices, everything in a multiplex is quite expensive. It should all be affordable. Visiting a multiplex feels like stepping into a five-star hotel. Why would anyone spend so much money? It’s a self-defeating exercise because now a common man saves money to see only 2 films in a year.”
He continued, “2 samosas are sold for Rs. 200. A bottle of water is priced at Rs. 50. It is a very five-star type of experience, though cinema is supposed to be for the common man.”
Anurag listed out the basic essentials that a cinema hall should have, “You just ensure that the toilet is clean, seats are comfortable. That’s it.”
