Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has clarified he hasn’t quit filmmaking despite leaving Mumbai and Bollywood recently.
In a post on X/Twitter, the Manmarziyaan director wrote, “I have relocated cities. I have not left filmmaking.”
He stressed his busy schedule, claiming to be “busier than Shah Rukh Khan” with projects lined up for the next three years.
Kashyap also said that he has “five directorial hopefully coming out this year or maybe three now and two early next year.”

Kashyap further spoke about his busy work schedule, claiming that his IMDb profile is so extensive he turns down three projects a day.
The filmmaker expressed frustration over assumptions about his career and told critics to “go s*** your own c**** or if you are flexible enough lick your own a**.”
This comes after his earlier confirmation of leaving Mumbai as the industry chased “unrealistic targets” and a “toxic” atmosphere.
