How did Anurag Kashyap become a writer from writer?
Anurag Kashyap also revealed the name of the filmmaker and director during a conversation with host Akshay Rathi, which led to the direction of writing films. He said- ‘Somewhere I always wanted to direct films. I do not know whether Ramu (Ram Gopal Varma) remembers whether he has a big role in becoming a director. So one day Ramu wanted some shots of the city and I kept some shot notes down, that he needed somewhere. So he told Mazhar that why don’t you go and shoot something. They liked the idea that I told them. ‘
Ram Gopal Varma rejected all the shots
Anurag further says- ‘We shot and we came back and I was walking in my mind that for the first time I played the role of director. After this, when the shot was shown on the screen, Ramu did not like a single shot. I went to the editor and said that Ramu sir was watching me like this. So he said- you told me 7 different things, I used it, otherwise it was also a nonsense shot. He told me how bad it was. Whatever things you have shot, they did not have to do it. He taught me how I have to tell Mazhar what is in my mind. He again gave me a camera and sent Sunday to shoot. Then we can get some fine shots. So my learning process started from there.

Journey to become director of Anurag Kashyap
‘The journey of becoming my director started after a long time. This is when I was working in ‘Mission Kashmir’. I left that film in the middle. After this, I again wrote a script for Shivam Nair. Then I told him if I can direct my script? He said very graceful- this is your script, do it absolutely. I tried to direct as soon as I got permission. No one had much faith in me in those days.
