Anurag Singh Kashyap (born 10 September 1972) is an Indian film director, screen
writer, producer and actor. He has received acclaim for his realistic films, and
is often regarded as the face of an emerging new wave cinema for producing nume
rous independent films with newcomers. For his contributions to film, the Govern
ment of France awarded him the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Knight of the Orde
r of Arts and Letters) in 2013.
After writing a television serial, Kashyap got his major break as a co-writer in
Ram Gopal Varma's crime drama Satya (1998), and made his directorial debut with
Paanch, which never had a theatrical release due to censorship issues. He then
went on to direct Black Friday (2007), a film based on the book by Hussain Zaidi
about the 1993 Bombay bombings. Its release was held up for two years by the Ce
ntral Board of Film Certification because of the pending verdict of the case at
that time, but was released in 2007 to widespread critical appreciation. Kashyap
's followup, No Smoking (2007) met with negative reviews and performed poorly at
the box-office. His next venture Dev.D (2009), a modern adaptation of Devdas wa
s a critical and commercial success. It was followed by Gulaal (2009), and the t
hriller That Girl in Yellow Boots (2011), both films also received critical accl
aim. His prominence increased with the two-part crime drama, Gangs of Wasseypur
(2012). His next films were Bombay Talkies (2013), Ugly (2014) and Bombay Velvet
(2015).
Apart from filmmaking, Kashyap serves as the Member of board of the Mumbai-based
NGO, Aangan, which helps protect vulnerable children around India. He is the fo
under of two film production companies: Anurag Kashyap Films, which is run by Gu
neet Monga, Phantom Films with partnership from director's Vikramaditya Motwane,

Early life[edit]
Anurag Kashyap was born and grew up in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh.[1] His father P
rakash Singh worked as a Deputy General Manager at Obra Thermal Power Station in
Sonbhadra near Varanasi.[2] He did his early schooling in Green School Dehradun
and, age eight onwards, at the Scindia School in Gwalior. Some of the locations
used in Gangs of Wasseypur are also influenced from his own old house where he
himself lived with his parents, sister Anubhuti Kashyap and brother, Abhinav Kas
hyap.[3][4] Abhinav is also a filmmaker, while his sister Anubhuti has been his
assistant in most of his films.[5]
Career[edit]
Due to Kashyap's desire to become a scientist, he went to Delhi for his higher s
tudies and enrolled himself into a zoology course at the Hansraj College (Univer
sity of Delhi); he graduated in 1993.[6][7][8] He then eventually joined a stree
t theatre group, Jana Natya Manch; and did many street plays.[4][8][9] The same
year, his couple of friends "urged [him] to catch a de Sica retrospective" at th
e International Film Festival of India.[3][4][10] In ten days, he saw 55 films a
t the festival, and Vittorio De Sica's Bicycle Thieves was the film that influen
ced him the most.[8][11]
"As a 19-year-old student of zoology at Delhi's Hansraj College, I had no desire
to be a filmmaker. Till I watched Bicycle Thieves, a 1948 Italian film directed
by Vittorio De Sica, at a film festival in Delhi in 1993. After the film got ov
er, I decided to chuck it all and leave bag-and-baggage for Bombay to be a filmm
aker."
Kashyap on how one film changed his life.[6]
After the de Sica experience, Kashyap arrived in Mumbai in 1993 with INR 5,000 i
n his pocket.[9][12] Soon the money ran out, and he spent months on the streets,
staying in lofts, "sleeping on beaches," "under a water tank and in the St Xavi
er's [college] boys hostel."[4] He then managed to find work at Prithvi Theatre,
but his first play remained incomplete because the director died.[7]
Writer and director[edit]
1990s[edit]
In 1995, an acquaintance introduced Kashyap to Shivam Nair. The day they met, Ka
shyap watched Taxi Driver (1976) at Nair's place, and the film inspired him to "
write something". The team of Sriram Raghavan, Sridhar Raghavan and Shiv Subrama
niam were working on two projects, one of which was a short TV series, Auto Nara
yan, based on the life of serial killer Auto Shankar; the second one was a film
scripted by Kashyap.[8] Auto Narayan got delayed because the script written by S
ubramaniam was not "working". Kashyap rewrote the script, and got credit for the
same, but it was scrapped.[9][11] In 1997, he wrote the screenplay of Hansal Me
hta's first film, Jayate which failed to find a theatrical release;[13] and epis
odes of the TV series Kabhie Kabhie (1997).[14]
In 1998, the then struggling actor Manoj Bajpai suggested his name to Ram Gopal
Varma to write a film. Varma liked Kashyap's Auto Narayan and hired him, alongsi
de Saurabh Shukla to write the screenplay and dialogues for his crime film, Saty
a (1998).[7][9] Satya was a critical and commercial success,[15][16] and is rega
rded as one of the best film of all time and one of the best gangster film of Hi
ndi cinema.[17][18] He later collaborated with Varma in scripting Kaun (1999) an
d writing dialogues for Shool (1999). In 1999, he made a short film, titled Last
Train to Mahakali for television.[19]
2000s[edit]
While working with Nair, Kashyap came across files related to the Joshi-Abhyanka
r Serial Murders that took place in Pune in 1976, which became the inspiration f
or his directorial debut Paanch.[20][21] A crime thriller about a group of five
friends of a rock band turning into criminals, starring Kay Kay Menon, Aditya Sr

ivastava, Vijay Maurya, Tejaswini Kolhapure and Joy Fernandes in the lead roles.
[22] The film faced trouble with the Central Board of Film Certification[23] bec
ause, according to Kashyap, "They felt it wasn't healthy entertainment because i
t dealt unapologetically with sex, drugs and misguided, alienated youths".[4] It
was cleared by the Board in 2001,[24] but remains unreleased due to some proble
ms faced by the producer.[11] In these years, he also wrote dialogues for many f
ilms including Paisa Vasool (2004), Mani Ratnam's Yuva (2004), the Canadian film
Water (2005), Main Aisa Hi Hoon (2005) and Mixed Doubles (2006).
After a failed attempt to make Allwyn Kalicharan in 2003,[25] Kashyap started wo
rking on Black Friday (2007), a film based on the book by Hussain Zaidi about th
e 1993 Bombay bombings.[26][27] The Bombay high court put a stay on the release
of the film, until the judgement in the bomb blasts case was delivered. It was d
ecided after a petition filed by a group of 1993 bomb blasts accused, challengin
g the release of the film based on their case.[28] The film got censorship clear
ance in 2007, and was released after two years meeting universal acclaim.[29][30
] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film a score of 4 out of 5, and sai
d, "The powerful story, the powerful execution, the powerful performances sweep
you off your feet. Long after you've watched the film, it still haunts you, it d
isturbs you, it stays in your memory, it still sends a chill down your spine if
you recall the incidents."[31]
Kashyap attending the Rome Film Festival in 2007.
The same year, Kashyap adapted Stephen King's 1978 short story "Quitters, Inc."
into No Smoking, a surrealistic thriller about a chain-smoker who gets trapped i
n the maze of a person who guarantees will make him quit smoking.[32] The film s
tarring John Abraham, Ayesha Takia, Ranvir Shorey and Paresh Rawal in the leads
with music by Vishal Bhardwaj, premiered at the Rome Film Festival.[33] It was r
eleased on 26 October 2007 to an overwhelming negative reception and failed at t
he box-office.[34][35] CNN-IBN's Rajeev Masand called it a "colossal disappointm
ent".[36] Kashyap's final release of the year was Return of Hanuman, a animation
film about adventures of the Hindu god Hanuman.[37]
In 2009, Kashyap had two releases. Dev.D, a contemporary take on Sarat Chandra C
hattopadhyay's novel Devdas. It was the twelfth film adaptation of the Bengali n
ovel.[38] Starring Abhay Deol who actually pitched the original idea of the film
to Kashyap, with Mahie Gill and newcomer Kalki Koechlin portraying the characte
rs of "Paro" and Chandramukhi respectively.[39] It was released on 6 February 20
09 to generally positive reviews and strong box office results.[40][41][42]Gulaa
l, a political crime drama starring Raj Singh Chaudhary, Kay Kay Menon, Abhimany
u Singh, and Deepak Dobriyal, was his final release of that year. Kashyap starte

06, when its producer fell ill. Later on, Zee Motion Pictures took over the proj
ect and was finally finished in 2008.[11] It was released on 13 March to general
ly positive reviews.[43] Anupama Chopra gave the film three stars and referred t

Style and themes[edit]
Kashyap is regarded as an auteur and postmodern filmmaker.[125] While promoting
Bombay Talkies in Anupama Chopra's show, Dibakar Banerjee described Kashyap's ae
sthetics as "purely new age or purely Indian"; projecting "modern post independe
nce India" in his films.[126] He prefers shooting on real locations by employing
guerrilla-filmmaking techniques with hidden cameras,[127] and often makes his a
ctors improvise their dialogues on set.[128][129] In Ugly, he did not show the s
cript to any of the lead actors.[129][130] He frequently uses hand-held cameras
and experimental soundtracks.[131][132]
The protagonists of his films often deal with excessive drug, smoke or alcohol c
onsumption, personal guilt, extreme rage and arrogance which leads them into sel
f-shattering situations.[125] Often portrays small but strong female characters.
[133] Most of his films deal with very realistic scenarios and take clues from r
eal incidents.[134] For example, the 1976-77 Joshi-Abhyankar serial murders refe
rence in Paanch,[21] the 1993 Mumbai bombing in Black Friday,[7] the 1999 Delhi
hit-and-run case and DPS MMS Scandal in Dev.D[135] and the depiction of real lif
e gang wars in Gangs of Wasseypur.[136] Ugly came from his "personal guilt" of n
ot spending enough time with his daughter and the fear of losing her. With sever
al real-life incidents like IAS officer whose wife filed a case of brutality aga
inst him.[137] A song "sylvia" in Bombay Velvet was named after the Nanavati cas
e, where Sylvia Nanavati was K. M. Nanavati's wife.[138]
Influences[edit]
Kashyap's work inspired British director Danny Boyle, who has cited Black Friday
and Satya as the inspirations for his Academy Award-winning film Slumdog Millio
naire (2008). Boyle stated that a chase in one of the opening scenes of Slumdog
Millionaire was based on a "12-minute police chase through the crowded Dharavi s
lum" in Black Friday.[139] He also described Satya's "slick, often mesmerizing"
portrayal of the Mumbai underworld, which included gritty and realistic "brutali
ty and urban violence," directly influenced the portrayal of the Mumbai underwor
ld in Slumdog Millionaire.[139]
Personal life[edit]
Kashyap, with his ex-wife Kalki Koechlin at the 2009 Filmfare Awards.
Kashyap serves as the Member of board of the Mumbai-based NGO, Aangan, which hel
ps protect vulnerable children around India.[140] He was first married to film e
ditor Aarti Bajaj, and have a daughter together.[137] They divorced in 2009.[141
] He later married actress Kalki Koechlin at Kalki's maternal home in Ooty, whom
he first met during the making of Dev D.[142][143] In 2013, Kashyap and Kalki a
nnounced that "they are taking time apart from their more than two-year-old marr

iage."[144] On 19 May 2015, they got divorced at the Bandra family court in Mumb
ai.[145]
When asked about his religious view, Kashyap replied, "I am an atheist. Cinema i
s the only religion I believe in."[146]
