Meet with D-Gang specialist

Director Anurag Kashyap

As Paulo Coelho said that when you really want to do something or wish for something from heart, The whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it or make it happen.

After 10 years (2005 to 2015) of self initiated blogging on movie reviews, looking closely film making process,  It was like another reward for me to get to meet Mr. Anurag Kashap , Talk to him in length and watch his Masterpiece "Gangs of WasseyPur -2" sitting next to him, just After meeting Anupam Kher, Rakesh Bedi ji last month. Overdose of reward and happiness. :)

Below is the brief excerpt of talk with Anurag Kashyap (AK).

Me: Congrats Anurag for GOW, on making entry to IMDB top 250. Your's Gulal was also a masterpiece.

AK: Thank you. 

Me: I liked it more as i could relate to many scenes, situations n fights of villages, 'tang galiyaan' (narrow streets) n all , being grown up in small place near Jhansi.

AK: Great, I am also grown up in a village ,, in fact some parts of movie are shot in my house at village.

Me: Ohh really. 

AK: Yes, We did not even have much money/budget to afford a hotel for the stay of Crew members, So i shot some scenes in my house itself and used to plan shooting like - One day we are shooting at one location and next morning, we need to shoot at another location, so during the night, we were actually travelling in the bus, so didn't have to arrange for the Hotel. :P

(Laughters around...)

Me: What if i tell u, i also have a story of Jhansi (Bundelkhand area) & it will be fit for the genre you have expertise in :) 

AK: haha.. need to run for flight in an hour ...busy schedule. Lets catch up on email.

(Shared email , best wishes in autograph, had a picture together and exchanged Diwali Wishes) 

Such an achiever yet so humble person, What more could i ask for this Diwali?.
