Anurag Kashyap is a family man now

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is known to make artsy films like Black Friday (2004), No Smoking (2007), Dev D (2009) and Gulaal (2009). But it seems like the director has finally mellowed down and is now offering a full-blown family entertainer. His first venture in this genre, Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana, has successfully crossed the first threshold of being labelled as a family film, by acquiring a U/A certificate, unlike any of his previous projects.

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is known to make artsy films like Black Friday (2004), No Smoking (2007), Dev D (2009) and Gulaal (2009). But it seems like the director has finally mellowed down and is now offering a full-blown family entertainer. His first venture in this genre, Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana, has successfully crossed the first threshold of being labelled as a family film, by acquiring a U/A certificate, unlike any of his previous projects. The film directed by Sameer Sharma, is about a quirky Punjabi family’s quest for the family recipe of Chicken Khurana. A source close to Anurag, who is the creative producer in this film, reveals that his primary focus was not to make it a masala film and reach out beyond his usual audience. “However, he maintains his uniqueness by choosing food as the central topic,” the source adds.

Director-Anurag-Kashyap

The entire film has been shot in the interiors of Punjab and London as Kashyap didn’t want to mess with the mood of the film by shooting in a studio. Nonetheless, Anurag has made sure that the comedy scenes don’t overrun the film and people fail to identify it as an Anurag Kashyap production. “It is for the first time that I have tried my hand at making a complete family entertainer and I have had fun in the process. It’s India’s first food film and has all the ingredients for a delicious comedy,” says Anurag.
