What Anurag said

Anurag Kashyap did not name the actor who made his furious for messing up a simple scene multiple times.

When Anurag was asked if there was ever an instance where he felt stuck with an actor during a shoot, the director replied yes. He detailed one particular instance and said, “Ek baar phasa tha mein! Main tareeke dhundta hoon. Literally ek baar ek actor tha pata nahi kyu woh seedha chal hi nahi paa raha tha! I wanted him to come out of it smoothly, from behind this bar-like place. Woj jagah kam thi aur woh aaram se aa sakta tha. Lekin uska haath paair control mein nahi tha idhar udhar sab hilata hua ata kabhi bottle gir jaati thi (I got stuck once. There was one actor who could not walk straight. He could have easily done that in that small space but something or the other happened and his hands and legs were always out of control).”
