Anurag Kashyap Calls Kennedy Cannes Premiere His 'Lowest Point'
He called Kennedy's Cannes premiere his 'lowest point', and he was the first one to walk out.
Anurag Kashyap just went there. The filmmaker called Kennedy’s Cannes premiere the lowest point of his career, and apparently he was front row (or rather, front row to exit) for the whole thing. As per reports circulating through the industry, Kashyap wasn’t mincing words about how the festival debut went down, calling it a significant misstep.
What really got attention? Reportedly, this bold auteur was the first person to walk out of the screening. At Cannes. Yeah. That’s literally the kind of moment that lives in the film world’s group chat forever. The kind of professional statement that’s hard to come back from gracefully.
Kashyap’s never been one to sugarcoat things, and that’s what makes him such a compelling filmmaker. It’s part of why his films like Gangs of Wasseypur and Dev.D made such an impact on audiences. When he goes on record saying a project hit a major low, the industry pays attention. The man behind some of Bollywood’s most daring cinema clearly has strong opinions about filmmaking, and he’s letting them fly without any filters.
