News India Live, Digital Desk: Bollywood’s cult director Anurag Kashyap is known for perfection in his films. They often experiment with new artistes, but sometimes this experimentation gets to be too much for them. Recently, during an interview, Anurag revealed that once he became so ‘frustrated’ with the actions of an actor that he could not control himself. The only reason was that during a scene the actor couldn’t walk straight.
What was that story?
Anurag Kashyap told that he was shooting an important scene. The scene was very simple—the actor had to walk straight towards the camera. But the actor was faltering again and again or his movements were not able to attain the depth that the character demanded. Anurag said, “I couldn’t understand how a person could have so much difficulty in walking straight. We had taken dozens of takes and the same mistake was happening every time.”
That moment of anger and frustration
Anurag admitted that he was very angry at that time. He told that when you are on the set with a vision and even basic things start going wrong, your patience breaks. He did not reveal who the actor was, but made it clear that there was a lot of tension on the set that day. According to Anurag, at that time he felt that maybe he had done the wrong casting.
Perfectionist Kashyap’s style
Anurag Kashyap often gives examples of films like ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ and ‘Dev D’ and shows how much attention he pays to the body language of the characters. For him, acting is not just speaking dialogues but also the style of movement. He said in a joking tone that now he also takes the ‘walk test’ of actors seriously before casting.
discussion on social media
After this statement of Anurag went viral, fans are now busy guessing the name of that actor. Some people say that Anurag’s anger is justified because film making is an expensive and time-consuming task, while others are linking it to his ‘strict’ nature.
