Anurag Kashyap To Direct A Bhojpuri Film?

The moffusil towns of northern India were the background to Anurag Kashyap's biggest hits, the Gangs of Wasseypur films. And if industry sources are to be believed, Anurag is returning to the badlands once again.

But this time it will not be a Hindi film. Sources claim that the filmmaker is venturing into Bhojpuri films. He will be directing a Bhojpuri film with Vineet Kumar Singh in the lead. Anurag has already worked with Vineet on several films like Gangs of Wasseypur, Bombay Talkies and Ugly.

A source told SpotboyE.com, “Grapevine whispers claimed that Anurag is directing a Bhojpuri film back in 2014 too, but it’s happening now. He is making a Bhojpuri film based on a boxer’s life.”

Now that interest in regional cinema is at its peak, it looks like Anurag too wants a bite of the pie. When contacted Anurag remained unavailable for comment.
