Anurag
Kashyap,
who
has
been
a
strict
non-conformist
in
both
his
opinions
and
his
art,
shared
his
two
cents
on
the
reach
of
filmmakers
like
Karan
Johar,
in
either
making
or
breaking
someone's
career.
While
he
admitted
that
Karan
can
make
somebody's
career
by
launching
them
in
a
big
film,
he
cannot
break
anyone.
He
pointed
that
Karan
Johar
is
not
the
only
filmmaker
in
the
industry,
and
there
are
others
like
himself
or
Hansal
Mehta,
who
work
with
newcomers.
Speaking
with
NDTV
in
an
interview,
Anurag
said,
"A
Karan
Johar
can
make
somebody's
career...
by
launching
(him/her)
in
a
big
film.
Because
he's
not
just
a
filmmaker,
he's
also
a
businessman.
He
understands.
But
he
cannot
break
anyone."
He
continued,
"Agar
aapko
break
chahiye
hi
YRF
se
aur
Dharma
se,
toh
bohot
lambi
line
hai.
Saal
mein
4-5
filmein
karenge
(If
you
want
YRF
and
Dharma
to
give
you
a
break,
then
there
is
a
long
queue.
They
make
4-5
films
in
a
year)
and
there
also,
the
studio
wants
to
work
with
stars
because
they
are
making
films
at
a
bigger
cost."
Pointing
that
there
are
others
in
the
industry
who
offer
opportunities
to
newcomers,
he
said,
"Aap
jaa
ke
Hansal
Mehta
ke
office
ke
bahar
kyun
nahi
line
laga
rahe
ho?
Main
naye
logon
ke
saath
kaam
karta
hoon.
Aise
bohot
saare
naye
logon
ke
saath
kaam
karte
hai.
Aap
line
hi
galat
jagah
laga
rahe
ho
(Why
don't
you
queue
up
outside
Hansal
Mehta's
office?
I
work
with
newcomers,
and
there
a
lot
of
others
as
well.
You
are
queueing
up
in
the
wrong
place
to
begin
with)."
The
ongoing
debate
about
the
film
industry,
which
essentially
seems
to
boil
down
to
fairness,
has
been
spinning
out
of
control
with
the
real
issue
losing
to
mud-slinging.
