Piyush Mishra, who is a famous writer, lyricist and actor, has recently strongly criticized the films of film director Anurag Kashyap in an interview. During a conversation on the Humans of Cinema YouTube channel, Piyush Mishra clearly said that Anurag often spoils the second half of his films. Manoj Bajpayee, Ranjan Singh, Juganuma director Ram Reddy and Anurag Kashyap himself were also present with him in this interview. When Piyush Mishra was asked if he still watches films like Gangs of Wasseypur or Gulaal, he replied, "Gulaal toh maaf karna Anurag. Par uska second half pata nahi kya tha. Iski dikkat yeh hai ki woh apni adhi film achhi bana leta hai, phir lagta hai ki bohot badiya film ban rahi hai, aur phir usse bigaad kar dekhta hai. Second half bigaad deta hai. Gulaal achhi film ban rahi thi, par isne uska bohot bigaad kiya."
Why did Piyush Mishra slams Anurag Kashyap?
Not only this, Piyush Mishra also targeted Anurag's film Dev D. He said, "The first half was a classic, then this one spoiled everything." Jokingly, Manoj Bajpayee said that Nawazuddin Siddiqui's small role and the song Emotional Atyachaar saved the second half of the film. Piyush further said, "I don't know what his problem is. Gangs of Wasseypur had the same issue; he made the first part, then he lost his mind. I thought Dev D would be a film on alcoholism, and then it became something strange."
What is Anurag Kashyap's next project?
Meanwhile, Anurag Kashyap is gearing up for the release of his next film Nishaanchi. This film marks the debut of Aishwary Thackeray, who is the grandson of Balasaheb Thackeray. The film also stars Vedika Pinto, Monica Panwar, Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub and Kumud Mishra. Nishaanchi will be released in theatres on September 19.
