Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap, known for his candidness, frequently captures the spotlight with his outspoken comments. He has recently made a substantial remark about newcomers in the industry. Kashyap has declared that he will no longer waste his time on meet-ups with such individuals but instead will charge a hefty fee for such interactions. This post has since gone viral.
Anurag Posts His Frustration
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap shared a post on his official Instagram handle that reads, 'I have helped many newcomers and am now exhausted by it. Time-wasting meetings with self-proclaimed 'geniuses' are over. From now on, it's ₹100k for 10-15 minutes if anyone wants to meet.'
Fees for Meetings
He further writes, 'For a half-hour it will be ₹200k and for a full hour, the fee is ₹500k. These are my rates. I’m tired of wasting time holding meetings. If you truly believe you can afford this, give me a call; otherwise, don't bother. Payments need to be made in advance.'
Daughter Aaliyah's Take
In the caption of this post, Anurag Kashyap also penned a significant thought, stating, 'Do not message, call, or DM me. Pay the money and get the time. I don't run a charity. I'm tired of people looking for shortcuts.' In response to his post, director Shekhar Kapur commented, 'Really Anurag, sometimes I feel the same.' Meanwhile, Anurag's daughter Aaliyah Kashyap says, 'I'm forwarding this to people sitting in my messages and emails, consistently sending me scripts for you.'
Users Poke Fun
Kashyap's post has taken over social media. Many users are mocking him as well. One user commented, 'Sir, I was just about to ring your doorbell.' Another said, 'Dude, I was just about to call you.' And another wrote, 'One shouldn’t consume bhang before Holi.' Speaking of projects, Anurag worked on the film 'Kennedy,' which features Sunny Leone and Rahul Bhatt, yet to have a release date in India.
