Anurag Kashyap is the latest filmmaker to take a dig at the increasing budgets of Bollywood duds and also the advent of the OTT platform. Speaking to Humans of Cinema, Kashyap said, “I had never seen so many vanity vans on my set like I saw on Sacred Games.” He added, “That’s how the culture got started.
Then you can’t reverse that. Finally, those people started getting paid who were totally ignored, which is the technical crew..
. It’s fair, in a way. But a lot of extra things started coming in.
” When asked about the failure of the big-budget films, Kashyap opined, “Because they aren’t spending on just the film. One thing people need to understand is that when we make a film, we’re working, we’re creating something. It’s not a holiday, it’s not a picnic.
A lot of money that is spent doesn’t go into making the film. It goes into the paraphernalia, it goes into the entourage. You’re shooting in the middle of a jungle, but one car will be sent to the city three hours away specifically to get you that five-star burger you want.
” The Black Friday helmer said he “wasted a lot of time trying to help newcomers” and now doesn’t to waste his time meeting random people for free. Taking to Instagram, Kashyap wrote, “I wasted a lot of time trying to help newcomers and mostly ended up with mediocre s**t. So Now onwards I don’t want to waste my time with meeting random people who think they’re creative geniuses.
So I will now have rates. If someon.
