Anurag Kashyap Bids Adieu to Bollywood Drama: ‘Everyone’s Chasing ₹800 Crore Blockbusters’ | Bollywood

March 5, 2025 – Breaking news from B-Town, filmy folks! 🎬 Guess who’s leaving the glitzy streets of Mumbai for a more peaceful life down South? None other than the maverick filmmaker, Anurag Kashyap! 🍿

Anurag Kashyap’s Mumbai Exit: Tired of Bollywood’s Toxic Vibes!

Arrey bhai, Anurag Kashyap has had enough of the Bollywood hullabaloo! In a candid chat with The Hindu, he declared that he’s packed his bags, said goodbye to Mumbai, and labeled Bollywood as "toxic." 😲 According to a little birdie, he’s probably moved to Bangalore. Anurag is fed up with the industry’s obsession over mega-budget films, like the ₹800 crore kind. "Sab paise ke peeche bhaag rahe hain, yaar," he says. The creative vibe has gone for a toss, and he’s not having any of it.

Earlier, he vented to The Hollywood Reporter India about how disillusioned he was with the industry. He’s envious of the South Indian filmmakers who actually get to experiment without their producers breathing down their necks, asking, "Bhai, profits kahan hain?" 🤑 Anurag just wants to make films without the constant “kaise bechega?” mantra hovering over his head. So, he’s off to find some creative solace. "Bas, bahut ho gya. Mumbai, alvida!" he exclaimed.

Upcoming Adventures for Anurag

But wait, there’s more! Anurag is not just twiddling his thumbs in Bangalore. He’s presenting the Malayalam film Footage, directed by Saiju Sreedharan, with a star cast featuring Manju Warrier, Vishak Nair, and Gayathri Ashok. The film hit the screens last August, but its Hindi avatar is arriving on March 7, 2025. 📽️

And guess what, Anurag’s stepping in front of the camera too! He’s playing a fearless cop in the upcoming flick Dacoit, shooting in Hindi and Telugu. With Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur leading the cast, this one’s bound to be a must-watch. The release date? Abhi tak secret hai! 🤐

Kiran’s Gyan: Bollywood Ka Funda

Bollywood mein creativity ka kya? Sometimes, it feels like everyone’s more interested in the zeros on the cheque than the art on the screen. Anurag’s move might be the start of a new wave, where filmmakers are free to create without the box office ka pressure! So, Bollywood big shots, maybe it’s time to take a page out of Anurag’s book and let creativity breathe! 🌟

Stay tuned, filmy lovers, because in Bollywood, picture abhi baaki hai! 🎥✨
