Anurag Kashyap On ‘Kabir Singh’: Says It Represents 75-80% Of Urban India
While speaking at the launch, Kashyap expressed his opinion about the movie ‘Kabir Singh'. He said, the movie represents more than 70 to 80 per cent of urban India.
Director
Anurag
Kashyap
is
considered
to
be
one
of
India's
finest
filmmakers.
Kashyap
attended
the
launch
of
Audible
Suno,
an
audio
show
platform,
in
which
he
has
directed
'Thriller
factory'.
'Thriller
Factory'
revolves
around
crime-stories
of
the
country's
best
pulp
fiction.
The
crime-stories
episodes
are
voiced
by
Tabu,
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui
and
other
Bollywood
stars.
While
speaking
at
the
launch,
Kashyap
expressed
his
opinion
about
controversies
surrounding
movies.
He
stated
that
the
movie
'Kabir
Singh'
represents
more
than
75
to
80
per
cent
of
urban
India.
Anurag
feels
it
is
better
to
make
people
uncomfortable
rather
than
staying
politically
right
in
cinema.
"The
first
thing
is,
it's
up
to
you
whether
you
want
to
take
it
on
or
not.
If
I
disagree
with
something,
if
I
don't
consider
cinema
of
a
kind
cinema
at
all,
I
can't
say
it
cannot
exist.
I
can't
enforce
that.
We
can
all
co-exist," Anurag
Kashyap
told
PTI.

He
added,
"Like
there
were
a
lot
of
controversies
around
'Kabir
Singh'.
Everybody
can
make
any
film
and
should
make
any
film,
should
represent
all
kinds
of
people.
'Kabir
Singh'
does
represent
more
than
75-80
per
cent
of
urban
India.
Why
not
put
it
out?
If
I
disagree
with
it,
I
won't
see
it.
But
sometimes
it's
necessary
to
see
ourselves.
Being
politically
correct
all
the
time
doesn't
help.
India
as
a
country,
for
75
years,
has
made
films
with
positive
messages,
all
love
stories
with
happy
endings.
Where
has
it
brought
us?
It
is
very
important
to
make
people
uncomfortable
sometimes."
Kashyap
feels
artists
are
always
attracted
to
everything
forbidden.
"When
you're
told
as
a
kid
by
your
mother
not
to
touch
something,
you
go
and
touch
exactly
that.
So
the
human
curiosity,
for
actors
and
everyone,
takes
them
to
things
which
are
forbidden.
I'm
forever
attracted
and
in
love
with
what
is
forbidden,"
he
said.
Anurag
is
currently
working
on
multiple
projects
such
as
'Project
10',
'Choked'
and
'Maximum
City'.
He
is
also
awaiting
the
release
of
'Ghost
Stories',
a
horror-anthology
in
which
Anurag
has
directed
one
of
the
four
segments.
'Ghost
Stories'
will
stream
on
Netflix
from
January
1,
2020.
