Anurag Kashyap’s Ugly Fights with RGV On Satya, Here’s Why. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap co-wrote Ram Gopal Varma’s 1998 cult classic Satya alongside actor Saurabh Shukla. In a recent interview, Kashyap candidly admitted to frequent clashes with Ram Gopal Varma during the film’s production. Despite the creative differences, the collaboration resulted in a landmark film that significantly impacted Indian cinema. Kashyap’s reflections highlight the intense and often conflicting nature of their partnership, underscoring the challenges and triumphs they faced while making the iconic movie.
In a recent interview, Anurag walked down memory lane and recalled an incident with Ram Gopal Varma. Anurag said, “I was totally raw. I was learning and digging everything. I would argue so much. Eventually, he would be right. To shut me up, he would say, ‘Good idea, put it in your film, this is my film’. Even in Manoj’s death sequence, there was Saurabh, me, Makarand and Ramu ji in a corner only fighting. I was not agreeing with the way the death scene was shot. For me, only when I saw it on screen, I felt that I was so wrong. At one point when we were fighting, Ramu said, ‘Anurag, whenever you make a film, put all the logic and how somebody is killed. Right now, you are not making this film. Can we just shoot?’”
He went on to add a few more details to the incidents and said, “As far as my memory serves, we did write something. But after two days of shoot, Ramu said that this is not the film he is making and he threw it away. I remember whatever we wrote in the initial days was scrapped completely. And then, the film was written and made on the go. Scenes would be written every day. We literally used to put the paper on a sofa and write the dialogues for the day.”
Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Satya’ is a groundbreaking 1998 Indian crime film that delves into the gritty underworld of Mumbai. The story follows Satya, an innocent man who becomes part of the city’s criminal activities. The film is known for its realistic portrayal of the underworld. Adding to that exceptional performances by J.D. Chakravarthy, Manoj Bajpayee, and Urmila Matondkar hiked the expectations. The film’s compelling storytelling revolutionized Indian cinema. The film’s impact on the crime genre and its raw storytelling continues to be celebrated, making it a cult classic.
