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.

One of the greatest films of all time, Lagaan (2001), completed 23 years on June 15. Starring Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh, it was a fictional period drama about a group of villagers learning cricket, a game alien to them, and playing it against the British. In the pre-climax, when the villagers fear defeat, they collectively pray to God. This is when 'O Paalanhaare' is played and it leaves viewers teary-eyed. The song took a life of its own and is one of the most loved film devotional songs of all time. Many are surprised to know that Javed Akhtar, an atheist, penned this track. At a show ‘Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaaon’, the legendary songwriter opened up about this song and confessed that he got this surprising reaction often.
