Anurag Kashyap says his biggest enemy are the studios: “More than the stars or their vanity is the studios’ expectation of their vanity”

Following the premiere of Kennedy at the Cannes Film Festival 2023, Anurag Kashyap's directorial starring Sunny Leone and Rahul Bhat secured a spot in the prestigious 12th edition of the BMO International Film Festival of South Asia Toronto (IFFSA Toronto), renowned as the largest South Asian film festival in North America. At the IFFA, the director was part of a masterclass session where he spoke about his issues with big studios.

According to Variety, Kashyap said at the event that his biggest enemy is the studios. “The difficulty I have faced working with big stars is their vanity – more than the stars or their vanity is the studios’ expectation of their vanity. My biggest enemy is not the stars, it’s the studios,” Kashyap said. The filmmaker added the focus of the studios has always been the money aspect of things.

The director said he is conscious of the budgets and that he tries to ensure that they don’t lose money. However, when the studios try to meddle with scripts, Kashyap says he often lies to them that he is making changes but he never does it.

Kennedy follows the enthralling tale of a long-thought-to-be-dead, insomniac ex-cop, who finds himself entangled in a corrupt system while seeking redemption.
