Piyush Mishra opens up about differences with Anurag Kashyap, says they can’t talk for more than 15 minutes: ‘Our political views, ethical views don’t match…’

He said in Hindi, “If nobody has been arrested after 15 days on an Anurag Kashyap shoot, I get withdrawal symptoms. He loves shooting without permission. Every time, the police comes and arrests a few people. My relationship with him is such that we meet after a few years, but we run out of things to talk about after 15 minutes. We have a coffee and cigarette, and our relationship ends.”

He continued, “I run out of things to say, he runs out of things to say, so the conversation ends. Our thoughts don’t match, our political views don’t match, our ethical views don’t match. Our emotional views are the same though. He’s like this bone, stuck in my throat. I can’t swallow it, and I can’t spit it out. That’s our relationship. I can’t sit with him for too long. We don’t have anything to talk about. He’s a cinema buff, and I don’t watch films. What shall I speak to him about?”

In the same interview, Piyush Mishra confessed his admiration for PM Narendra Modi. Anurag has been vocally critical of some of the ruling party’s positions, and also participated in the CAA protests some years ago.
