Sacred Games: Anurag Kashyap on working with Netflix and his 'street cred' as a director of dark, intense films

Firstpost  

*** Anurag Kashyap says he is a man of action, not discussion. I’m a hired director,” says Kashyap with a smile that indicates he is both pleased and humbled at the prospect of being part of this project. “Even when we aren’t ‘working’, we are working together,” says the director about the relationship he shares with the actor. “Even though he plays Ganesh Gaitonde — a gangster — he’s not like Faizal Khan from Gangs of Wasseypur or Ramanna from Raman Raghav 2.0. But he is unbothered by questions such as ‘How will this change the movie landscape in India?’ “If I cared about such concerns, do you think I would be making half the films I am right now?… I’m always in the moment,” he says.
