Anurag Kashyap: ‘I Don’t See Myself as Fearless, Just Honest to My Filmmaking’

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, known for his bold storytelling and outspoken views, says he doesn’t consider himself fearless but simply truthful when it comes to cinema.

In an interview with PTI, the Gangs of Wasseypur director said that for him, filmmaking is about honesty rather than chasing glamour.

“I don’t see myself as fearless. I’m very honest about my filmmaking. And I think filmmakers should be honest to their filmmaking,” Kashyap said.

He added that every filmmaker has to make a choice—whether they want to focus on creating meaningful movies or pursue fame and lifestyle. “Most people want fame and lifestyle. I want to keep making movies,” he emphasized.

Kashyap, who has often pushed boundaries with his cinema, reaffirmed his commitment to stories that reflect his convictions, even if they don’t always align with mainstream trends.
