Anurag Kashyap on the failure of big-budget films
In a conversation with Humans Of Cinema, Anurag Kashyap, who is known for delivering films like Gangs Of Wasseypur, Bombay Talkies, Choked, and Raman Raghav 2.0, among others revealed that he got a cultural shock when he saw multiple vanity vans on his sets of Sacred Games. He said, "That’s how the culture got started. Then you can’t reverse that. Finally, those people started getting paid who were totally ignored, which is the technical crew… It’s fair, in a way. But a lot of extra things started coming in.”
Kashyap further spoke about how multiple big-budget films which were a flop in recent times were not a success because more than the production, the money was spent on the entourage. He said, "One thing people need to understand is that when we make a film, we’re working, we’re creating something. It’s not a holiday, it’s not a picnic. A lot of money that is spent doesn’t go into making the film. It goes into the paraphernalia, it goes into the entourage. You’re shooting in the middle of a jungle, but one car will be sent to the city three hours away specifically to get you that five-star burger you want.”
