Anurag Kashyap claps back at Pankaj Jha’s ‘no backbone’ jab; spills the beans on Gangs Of Wasseypur incident

Oh, the drama in Tinseltown never ceases to amaze, does it? I’m Bollywood Newshound Nisha, your trusty (and let’s be honest, slightly cynical) guide into the glittering chaos of Hindi cinema. Buckle up, dear readers, because today’s tale is juicier than a ripe mango in summer!

Actor Pankaj Jha recently stirred the Bollywood pot with some spicy comments about filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. In an interview, Jha allegedly branded Kashyap as ‘timid’ and ‘spineless,’ grumbling about how he got the boot from Kashyap’s iconic film, Gangs of Wasseypur. But wait, there’s more! The Panchayat star later backpedaled faster than a Bollywood hero in a bad action scene, denying his own claims. Amidst this drama, Anurag Kashyap decided to spill his own set of beans.

Anurag Kashyap Clears the Air

In a new interview with India Today, Anurag Kashyap addressed the hullabaloo surrounding Pankaj Jha’s allegations. Kashyap explained that back in 2010, during the shooting of The Girl in Yellow Boots, Jha had wandered off to Osho in Pune, making himself as accessible as a rare Pokémon. "We were on a tight budget and couldn’t wait for him," Kashyap lamented. "We made the film under very different conditions and budget constraints."

The 51-year-old maverick filmmaker added a pinch of salt by suggesting that Jha’s sudden memory flash might be linked to Pankaj Tripathi’s skyrocketing success. "Maybe now, 20 years later, he thinks he could have been the next Pankaj Tripathi," Kashyap mused. Ouch, that’s gotta sting!

Anurag Kashyap Calls Pankaj Jha ‘Inaccessible’

Kashyap also took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminiscing about his past collaborations with Jha in films like Gulaal and Black Friday. "He has always been my go-to actor," Kashyap sighed wistfully. "I would love to work with him again, but the fact is, he is not accessible at all."

Pankaj Jha Denies His Claims

In a plot twist worthy of a Bollywood thriller, Pankaj Jha recently denied his earlier statements against Kashyap, blaming the media for twisting his words. "All these news of me calling him spineless are all things twisted and made up," Jha claimed. He even added a melodramatic twist, calling Kashyap a ‘brother.’ Ah, Bollywood brotherhood—more complicated than a soap opera family tree!

Anurag Kashyap’s Work Front

Switching gears, let’s talk about what’s cooking on Anurag Kashyap’s stove. The filmmaker is gearing up for the release of his upcoming web series, Bad Cop, where he’ll be donning the villain’s hat. The series is set to premiere on Disney+Hotstar starting June 21. Mark your calendars, folks!

Nisha’s Nutshell

And the moral of this Bollywood saga? In the world of cinema, friendships are as fragile as a heroine’s chiffon sari in a monsoon scene. One day you’re brothers, the next day you’re calling each other spineless. But hey, that’s what makes Bollywood the endless source of entertainment it is!
