Anurag Kashyap’s Decision to Leave Mumbai: Everything You Need to Know

Anurag Kashyap’s Decision to Leave Mumbai: Everything You Need to Know. Anurag Kashyap’s dissatisfaction with Bollywood isn’t new. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, he expressed his “disgust” and “disappointment” with the Hindi film industry. Kashyap revealed his plans to relocate to South India, seeking a more stimulating and creatively satisfying environment. This move reflects his ongoing quest for artistic freedom and innovation. Here’s everything Anurag Kashyap revealed.

Anurag Plans To Move Out!

In a recent interview, Anurag revealed that he is moving out of Mumbai. He said, “I envy them (South Indian filmmakers). Because now, it’s difficult for me to go out and experiment. Because now, it comes at a cost. Which makes my producers think about profit. They’re like, ‘Where are my margins? I’m losing money.’ I’m like, ‘You don’t want to make this movie? Don’t make this movie. But I just cannot.’ Because right from the beginning, before the film starts, it becomes about ‘how do we sell it?’ So the joy of filmmaking is sucked out. That’s why I want to move out. Literally, next year, I’m moving out of Mumbai.”

Why the South Film Industry

Talking about moving out Anurag said, “They cannot because they don’t have the brains to make a film. They don’t understand what filmmaking is. A Pushpa is made by a Sukumar. If you go down South, they invest in a filmmaker and empower them to make a film. One of the best minds to empower filmmakers is Suresh Babu, Rana’s (Daggubati) father. He’s empowered so many first-time filmmakers. He makes so much sense. But I don’t know why people in Hindi don’t listen to him. And he’s not a random person. And he’s talking commerce, he’s not talking art. But he can see. He has a vision.”

The director went on to say, “Here, everyone is trying to create a formula. They think if one thing works, everyone is trying to create a universe. I don’t understand. Do you understand own universe you live in? How minuscule you are? That’s the ego. Since you’re creating a universe, you think you’re God. That’s the arrogance.”
