Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap , the creative force behind cult classics like Gangs of Wasseypur , recently stirred nostalgia on social media by sharing an unseen behind-the-scenes photo featuring Abhishek Bachchan from the sets of Manmarziyaan . Taking to his Instagram Stories, Kashyap captioned the picture simply as “memory from Manmarziyaan,” giving fans a heartfelt glimpse into the making of one of his most emotionally layered films.
Manmarziyaan (2018), which starred Abhishek Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu, and Vicky Kaushal, was praised for its raw and realistic portrayal of modern-day love and complex relationships. Abhishek’s understated performance as the calm, emotionally mature Robbie stood in poignant contrast to Vicky Kaushal’s impulsive and chaotic DJ Sandz. The film’s love triangle remains one of Kashyap’s most nuanced storytelling feats.
While reflecting on his filmmaking journey in a recent chat with Bollywood Hungama, Kashyap made a surprising revelation—he has five feature films that are yet to see the light of day. “There are five feature films that are still not released. Out of which two films are going to be released; hopefully the third one also,” he shared. Calling himself “the most unreleased filmmaker in the country,” Kashyap’s candid admission highlights the many hurdles he has faced despite his reputation as one of Indian cinema’s most daring voices.
