‘I make films to evoke, provoke’
From Black Friday to Gangs Of Wasseypur to Udta Punjab” to “Lust Stories”, Anurag Kashyap wants to start a conversation on several social issues with his cinema. He says he makes films to evoke and provoke.
“I always (want my cinema to strike a conversation). I make films to evoke and provoke. And that usually leads to a conversation,” Kashyap said.
His project Lust Stories shows stories on love and lust, and has garnered a positive response. The director says it is time to have “conversations around the subject of sex. It’s high time and only natural,” he added.
He says his sports film Mukkabaaz — which deals with the struggle of a boxer and with social issues like caste system, youth politics and the power play of people — holds a special place in his heart. Will he make more films around sports? “Sports was the canvas for me to tell a story about people. I’m not looking to make another sports film.” —IANS
