BIOGRAPHY & STORY
Anurag Kashyap, born 10 September 1972 in Gorakhpur, moved to Mumbai with just a few thousand rupees and went on to become a pioneering figure in Indian independent and gritty realist cinema.
Based in Mumbai's Versova area, Kashyap built his reputation through guerrilla filmmaking techniques and unflinching storytelling, working from the heart of the city's indie film scene.
His landmark film Gangs of Wasseypur (2012) remains a defining work of contemporary Indian cinema, alongside acclaimed films like Black Friday, Dev D, and Ugly.
