Something about Ugly

Ugly is an intense, riveting roller-coaster of a film. The film’s release was delayed because initially it was the court case and then the refusal to spend more money on publicity and advertising.

Love & hate relationship

I love good actors, passionate people and music. I hate hypocrisy and lack of will to reinvent constantly.

Blunt words: Anurag Kashyap
