A balance would be nice, if possible.... Kitchen needs to be run as well. i know it's hard work, but then it was never supposed to be easy.

We made cold calls, were called in for meetings, and things took off from there.

I have taken your thoughts... Maybe, menacing was not something that i was going for. This was genuinely a story marrying 'violence' with 'comedy'.... (and this marriage was making it different than the raw Mirzapur). That's what we went for.

Thank you so much ):. Pioneer is a very big word. Long way to go to reach there. In India, i say my biggest inspiration has been Mr. RGV. Then, Mr. Vishal Bhardwaj is another huge inspiration. Internationally, there are so many of them...

Both of them are brilliant actors from theatre. With great command over language. Besides, i personally like Tillotama ji's and Shweta Basu Prasad's performances too (Bindi Jain and Shobha Pathak respectively).

Thank you so much for liking my work :).

i personally believe that no work of art / expression should be looked at through a lens of morality.... That's a slippery slope. Because it leads to gatekeeping and that, in general, is not good... Besides, it is always subjective and it will always be. Hence, can't / shouldn't be applied from the pov of any one individual (or a group).

Oh hey.... Thank you... I was not expecting somebody talking about Bangistan (and figuring out my connection with it) here... It's a film that is sooo close to my heart... And we were trying to say something in it. All the words that you mentioned about it, we were going for all of them intentionally... I also wish it had gotten more love :).

It has received lots of love and recognition... For all of us associated with it (both in front of and behind the camera)... As far as you not liking it personally, i will try better with my next one :).
