“I always tell people to work on their script first. Kashyap,whose production house is dedicated to encourage young storytellers,says he does not make it easy for his directors. The two parts of “Wasseypur” will be screened back to back at Cannes parallel section Director’s Fortnight while his home production “Peddlers”,directed by debutante Vasan Bala will be competing at the Cannes Critics Week. The filmmakers don’t often get enough credit for their work and that should change,” said Kashyap.
If something like Wasseypur works,everybody would get a bit more confidence. My lifelong struggle has been that to make a good film,you need a good story,a good team and good actors. If this film works,makes the cost and shows profit,I will be set free. Kahaani has changed a lot of things but I want to fix it further. I would want it to happen someday,this film or any film. “If I get the chance to make a commercial film like ‘Wasseypur’ then I want to make commercial films all my life,” maintains the director who feels that the film has the potential to change the ways of Bollywood. Kashyap,the man behind films like “Black Friday”,”Dev D” and “That Girl In Yellow Boots”,says it is his first commercial film with lots of songs and dance. The canvas is bigger in this film because I am telling the entire story of the mafia’s origin.” Through revenge we are telling many more interesting stories. “Revenge is a very interesting theme but it is important to use it well.
The film stars Manoj Bajpayee,Tigmanshu Dhulia,Huma Qureshi,Nawazuddin Siddiqui,Reema Sen and others. “Wasseypur”,Kashyap’s most ambitious project till now,tells the story of revenge set in the world of coal mafia. But there is a different audience which is interested in my films and I want to explore that,” said Kashyap. It was hard for Indians to digest a film like ‘Yellow Boots’,the diaspora is more conservative. “The audience defines your longevity in this business. For me that market is very important as it kept me alive as a filmmaker when I had no support here.
Because I am getting to make movies here I can’t abandon them. That was the time when my biggest support was outside India. The director says he wants to continue reaching out to new audiences. Kashyap’s films have been recognised worldwide for their unique approach in storytelling,which is often bereft of the usual Bollywood cliches. I have not seen the films so I will watch them with the audience but I am scared about their response to the films,” says the director,who is keen to take his films beyond the Indian diaspora.
Kashyap,who is already in Cannes,says he is awaiting the screening of two part “Wasseypur” and home production ‘Peddlers’ with a lot of nervousness.
