Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who worked with Ram Gopal Varma for many years, recently spoke about the late 1990s and early 2000s when RGV and Kashyap were deep into making gangster movies in Hindi cinema. In a recent chat with Tanmay Bhat on his YouTube channel, Anurag recalled that after Black Friday, he was often approached by gangsters and criminals, and their associates in hopes that he would tell their story on the big screen.
Kashyap said that at that point he met with Mumbai’s Police Commissioner and shared with him that he might need some protection. The Dobaaraa director recalled, “He said ‘you don’t need it. Underworld loves you, everyone loves you, you go’. And actually, no one called with threats.”
