Filmmaker
Anurag
Kashyap
took
to
social
media
to
express
his
shock
over
the
veteran
actor's
passing
over.
In
a
long,
emotional
post
on
his
Instagram
page,
the
Gangs
Of
Wasseypur
director
said
that
if
it
wasn't
for
Subramaniam,
he
would
never
have
found
his
way
into
Bollywood.
Kashyap
also
revealed
that
he
owes
his
first
ever
writing
credits
to
the
late
actor-writer.
Anurag
wrote,
"The
year
1992,
I
was
doing
a
play
with
Jan
Natya
Manch
and
we
came
to
Mumbai
to
perform
at
the
Prithvi
theatre
Festival,
the
first
person,
my
first
celebrity
I
spotted
atbPrithvi
was
Francis
from
"Parinda" which
was
Shiv
Subramaniam,
also
the
writer
of
the
film."
Recalling
his
first
interaction
with
Shiv
Subramaniam,
he
continued,
"The
year
1994...I
was
working
on
my
first
independent
script
for
a
production
house
called
Media
Classic
,
the
condition
to
which
was
that
my
script
will
be
made
only
after
the
one
that
was
in
preproduction,
written
by
Shiv
Subramaniam
and
to
be
directed
by
Shivam
Nair.
They
were
having
issues
with
the
script
and
I
was
the
desperate
young
writer
waiting
for
my
turn.
There
came
the
time
when
they
were
just
about
ready
to
give
up
on
the
film"Auto
Narayan"
which
was
under
preproduction.
I
requested
them
to
let
me
have
a
go
at
the
script
and
not
shelve
it,
so
my
film
gets
made
afterwards.
Very
gracefully
Shiv
and
Shivam
allowed
me
to
do
so.
"Auto
Narayan"
got
made
and
my
script
never
did
.
After
seeing
the
film
,
Shiv
Subramaniam
asked
Shivam
to
also
put
my
name
as
the
writer's
credit
on
the
film.
That's
how
I
got
my
first
screen
writing
credit
in
this
film
industry."
"That
"Auto
Narayan" led
me
to
RGV
and
"Satya"
happened
.
I
owe
so
much
of
what
I
am
to
Shiva
Dada
and
we
hadn't
been
in
touch
for
long
with
me
owing
to
my
continuous
bad
health
and
state
of
mind.
Waking
up
to
hear
the
heartbreaking
news
of
Dada
passing
away
has
just
taken
so
much
out
of
me.
Rest
in
peace
❤️
Shiv
Subramaniam
.
The
most
generous
,
beautiful
man
I've
known,"
Kashyap
signed
off
the
post.
