Gangs of Wasseypur turns 7, Anurag Kashyap says film ruined his life, hopes the ‘sadhe saati is over by 2019 end’

Released in two parts, Gangs of Wasseypur is a cult film that revolves around a gangster who clashes with a ruthless, coal-mining kingpin.

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap says when Gangs Of Wasseypur released on this day seven years ago, his life got “ruined”. June 22, 2012 was when the first instalment of the two-part Gangs of Wasseypur released. It is a cult film that revolves around a gangster who clashes with a ruthless, coal-mining kingpin.

Manoj Bajpayee played the protagonist in Gangs of Wasseypur while Nawazuddin Siddiqui played the lead in the second part.

“Seven years back is exactly when my life got ruined. Since then all everyone wants me to do is the same thing over and over again. Whereas I have only been unsuccessfully trying to get away from that expectation. Anyways hope that Saadhe Saati is over by the end of 2019,” Kashyap tweeted on Saturday.

Gangs Of Wasseypur, based on a real life story, was loved by the masses for its rawness. It had managed to collected Rs 10 crore in the opening weekend. The gang war drama based in Wasseypur in Dhanbad district, Jharkhand, featured Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Piyush Mishra and Richa Chadha.

Kashyap has helmed films like Black Friday, Dev.D, Gulaal, Ugly, Raman Raghav, Mukkabaaz and Manmarziyaan. He is currently working on a new film with Roshan Mathew and Saiyyami Kher.
