Biography
Anurag Kashyap is an Indian filmmaker and screenwriter known for his uncompromising approach to Hindi cinema. Born on 10 September 1972, Kashyap received his major break as co-writer on Ram Gopal Varma's crime drama Satya (1998), then made his directorial debut with Paanch—a film that never reached theaters due to censorship. He followed with Black Friday (2004), based on Hussain Zaidi's namesake book about the 1993 Bombay bombings; its release was delayed two years by the District Board of Film Certification but arrived in 2007 to critical appreciation. No Smoking (2007) underperformed commercially, but Dev.D (2009)—a modern Devdas adaptation—became a commercial success and won positive reviews. Kashyap's breakthrough came with Gangs of Wasseypur (2012), a two-part crime drama that achieved worldwide critical acclaim and is now considered a cult film. He co-produced the acclaimed The Lunchbox (2013) and Shahid (2012), earning a BAFTA nomination for the former. His subsequent works include the anthology Bombay Talkies (2013), the drama Ugly (2014), Raman Raghav 2.0 (2016), inspired by serial killer Raman Raghav, and Mukkabaaz (2018). He co-directed India's first Netflix Original series, the crime thriller Sacred Games, based on Vikram Chandra's novel, and the romantic drama Manmarziyaan. Kashyap has won four Filmfare Awards and was made a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the Government of France in 2013. As a screenwriter and actor, Kashyap works across both on-screen and behind-camera roles. A Virgo born in 1972, his life-path number 11 reflects the visionary artist archetype—drawn to intuitive, boundary-pushing storytelling.
