Anurag Kashyap – who has directed films such as “Paanch” along with “Black Friday“, “Dev.D“, “Gulaal“, “No Smoking” and “Gangs of Wasseypur” franchise – made the statement during a round-table interview on YouTube.
“With pan-India, what is happening right now is that everybody is trying to make pan-India film. Success will be 5-10%,” he said. “Films like ‘Kantara‘ and ‘Pushpa‘ give you the courage to go out and tell your stories. But ‘
KGF 2‘, however big the success, when you try and emulate that and set a project up, that’s when you start heading towards disaster.“That’s the bandwagon that Bollywood destroyed itself on. You Have to find films that give you courage.”
