One of the renowned filmmakers in Bollywood, Anurag Kashyap remains in news for different reasons. In a recent interview, Anurag hailed Naatu Naatu song. Anurag said that it is 'incredibly' hard to pull off. He also opens up about the difference between Hindi cinema and South Cinema.
In a recent interview speaking about Hindi Cinema Anurag Kashyap said, "They have liked films from India for a very long time. But they like one kind of a film. There was a time Indian films released worldwide. Awara, Disco Dancer, everybody singing Jimmy Jimmy. You go to Africa, you go to Arab countries, India has a very massive impact of the mainstream.”
He further speaking about the current state of Hindi Cinema said, “Somewhere within our mainstream, we stopped being original. Our mainstream started to become cheap copies of Hollywood action movies or something else. Whereas movies from down South are still grounded, they still look like Indian films. A lot of Hindi mainstream doesn't look like Indian films, it's not even shot in India. It's not even about India, which is why RRR surprises them and scores. RRR takes them totally by surprise. Within the context of an Indian film, it does those very things at a much lower cost than them."
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap speaking of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s warning of not making unnecessary remarks against the film. He said, “If he had said this four years ago, it would have made a difference. Now, I don't think it'll make a difference. It was about controlling their own people. Things have gone out of hand now. I don't think anybody will listen to anyone,” He added, “When you stay silent, you empower prejudice and you empower hatred. It has now got so much empowered that it is a power in itself. The mob is out of control now."
