Aaliyah Kashyap expresses disappointment after her father Anurag Kashyap promoted Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal: ‘You agreed it was horrible film’ | Hindi Movie News – Times of India
Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap’s daughter Aaliyah Kashyap expressed her displeasure after her father uploaded a picture with filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga and complemented his film ‘Animal’. She recently invited the ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ director on her podcast and brought up the topic of Anurag’s picture with Vanga. Aaliyah disclosed that she disliked the Ranbir Kapoor starrer ‘Animal’.She remembered ‘bit*hing’ to Anurag about the ‘horrible, misogynistic’ film, and the director agreed with her criticism, but shared a picture with Vanga a week later.
On her podcast, Young, Dumb & Anxious, Aaliyah shared, “The caption of the post where you were promoting the guy which I was not very happy about. I actually saw Animal and called you immediately and ranted, ‘What a horrible, misogynistic movie it is and how much I hated it,’ and you agreed with me. A week later when I opened Instagram, I saw a post from my father, promoting a man I was b*tching about.”
Anurag shared that, like Vanga, he was also a cancelled filmmaker at the height of his career and that he is aware of how lonely it can be. “You were much younger when your father was cancelled for his films. After Dev D came out, I was cancelled by a lot of people. I was the untouchable guy. People said, ‘What a misogynistic film!’ Gangs of Wasseypur was also met with a similar fate even though my characters had agencies. I have often seen people isolating someone, attacking someone and that is not the way to be,” he stated.
Anurag went on to say that having contrastive conversations is crucial as an alternative to isolating someone. He further added, “I don’t understand social media, but before social media, there were blogs and I was a blogger. I used to do the same thing against the whole industry because I used to think that the whole industry was my enemy. I was very hard and angry and everything. I would talk about Karan Johar and other people in the industry. I remember, post Dabangg, I got into a fight with Salman Khan. I mean I started ranting against him. I had a lot of anger within me. I also got isolated without people understanding. Over the period of time, people started seeing things differently and I don’t like cancel culture at all. If I don’t like a film, I will ask the person my questions directly, if I know them.”
Anurag talked candidly about meeting Vanga as well as he revealed he liked him. “I met him, I like him. I like the guy. I’ve had questions of my own and I wanted to talk to him about his film. I invited him and I had a long five-hour conversation and I like the guy,” the filmmaker shared.
Meanwhile, On the work front, Anurag will make his Malayalam debut as an actor in director Aashiq Abu’s upcoming film ‘Rifle Club’. His latest film ‘Kennedy’ starring Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone is also up for release.
