Now, in an interview with Zoom TV, the Gangs Of Wasseypur director explained why he defended Sandeep Reddy Vanga and criticised the “toxicity” in the industry.
Anurag said, “I like the guy (Sandeep). I have no problem with him.” He continued, “Unlike a lot of people in the industry who pretend to be someone they are not, he is honest.
The former kind, I think, is even more toxic. But Vanga is an honest man. I don't like anything more than honesty, no matter what others' issues with honesty are.
I love talking to him.” A month back, in a new episode of his daughter Aaliyah Kashyap's podcast Young, Dumb & Anxious, Anurag was questioned, “What in the world was the Sandeep Reddy Vanga post?” Justifying himself, Anurag Kashyap said, “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 (Animal). I invited him and I had a long five-hour conversation and I like the guy.” Responding to her father's statement, Aaliyah Kashyap said, “Yeah, so I understand that you are allowed to like a guy.
The problem I had and I think a lot of other people had, was the caption of the post, where you promoted him as someone and the movie and talked about that which I was very not happy about because I actually saw Animal and called you, immediatel.
