Anurag Kashyap Rips Indian Studio System at Toronto IFFSA Masterclass: ‘I Have a Massive Problem With Authority and Authority Has Problems With Me’
Naman Ramachandran Celebrated Indian filmmaker Anurag Kashyap was in vintage free, frank and forthright form at a masterclass in Toronto on Sunday. “I have a massive problem with authority and authority has problems with me,” was one of the many nuggets from Kashyap, whose very first film “Paanch” (2003) was banned in India and whose subsequent work has been the subject of domestic scrutiny while being celebrated both at home and globally. Kashyap’s cop noir “Kennedy,” which had its world premiere at Cannes earlier this year, is on an extended festival run.
