Manoj Bajpayee on Anurag Kashyap's Creative Journey
Manoj Bajpayee recently opened up about his deep connection with filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of their professional journey. After their monumental success with "Gangs of Wasseypur," the duo aimed to collaborate on a new film. However, Bajpayee revealed that Kashyap encountered a creative block that led to the project's abandonment.
Despite the setback, Bajpayee expressed his unwavering hope for future collaborations with Kashyap. He emphasized the strong bond of understanding and respect that exists between them, stating that their relationship has always been marked by mutual admiration and collaboration. "We understood each other, we were just right for each other," Bajpayee remarked, reflecting on their past work.
In a recent turn of events, Kashyap has taken on a new role as the presenter for Bajpayee's upcoming film "Jugnuma," which is set to release in theatres soon. Bajpayee shared that Kashyap was blown away after watching the film at the New York Film Festival and decided to support it by putting his name on the poster. This collaboration showcases the continuing partnership and friendship between the two artists.
Bajpayee praised Kashyap for his mentorship of many independent filmmakers, acknowledging the courage it takes to support new voices in the industry. He described Kashyap as a creative force who thrives in chaos, which often leads to remarkable artistic outcomes. "His chaos is a positive indication to me that he is going to come up with something really fantastic," Bajpayee stated.
However, Bajpayee also humorously pointed out some quirks about Kashyap, noting that while he prefers organization, Kashyap's workspace is often scattered. This contrast reflects their different personalities but also highlights the beauty of their friendship. As they continue to support each other's work, fans eagerly await what magic they will create together in the future.
With "Jugnuma" on the horizon, audiences can look forward to witnessing yet another chapter in the artistic collaboration between Manoj Bajpayee and Anurag Kashyap.
