Renowned filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has recently shifted his focus from Bollywood to South Indian cinema, settling in the clean, vibrant city of Bengaluru. He has been exploring opportunities in Kannada and other South Indian film industries, and his admiration for the creativity and professionalism in the South has caught the attention of many.
Kashyap has openly criticized Bollywood’s corporate culture, claiming that it stifles creativity and leaves little freedom for filmmakers. According to him, the rigid work environment in Bollywood often hampers artistic expression, which is a stark contrast to the more flexible and creative atmosphere he has experienced in the South.
In this context, Kashyap praised the talents of prominent actor-director Basil Joseph. He revealed that he felt he had wasted two valuable years of his career attempting to make Shaktimaan Reboot, starring Ranveer Singh, which ultimately never materialized. Despite the setback, he acknowledged Basil Joseph’s versatility, highlighting his performances in films like Phone Man and his directorial work in Minnal Murali. Kashyap expressed amazement at how Basil has managed such diverse roles over just a few years.
Reflecting on his own career decisions, Kashyap admitted that he too had to step away from certain projects because he could not manage them effectively. He also revealed that Ranveer Singh tried extensively to secure the remake rights of Shaktimaan from the original actor Mukesh Khanna, aiming to take on the iconic role himself. However, Khanna refused to sell the rights and even questioned whether a star like Ranveer could do justice to the character of Shaktimaan.
Kashyap’s remarks highlight both the challenges and opportunities in the Indian film industry and underscore the creative potential flourishing in South Indian cinema.
