'Danny Boyle told me how to shoot the trippy scenes'

raj asked, do you think directors go too far to prove themself different from others...and making the present the tale in a more complex way then it should...have you been victim of the same?
Anurag Kashyap answers, I just stay the way I am. To prove anything is not my thing.

Mr. Raj asked, Hi Anurag, can you name few hollywood movies that you would remember for long time. I haven't see DevD yet...but I think your film on bomb blasts (forgot its name) was better in my opinion of what i have seen so far. Please comment.
Anurag Kashyap answers, Taxi Driver, Fight Club, Requeim For A Dream, Raging Bull, Blood Simple, Pulp Fiction.

kris asked, hello anurag is it true that Dev D is based on DPS MMS scandal
Anurag Kashyap answers, Watch it and then tell me.

neerajbhatt asked, is the movie worth to see by spending 3 hours and Rs150.
Anurag Kashyap answers, It's 2 hours and 15 minutes, and is your life worth living? If it is then the movie is worth watching.

anand asked, Hi Anurag...Just wanted you to know that no matter what anyone says, 'No Smoking' and 'Black Friday' totally rocked...also your 'bechara-writer-driven-crazy-by-Bollywood-bigwigs' cameo in 'Luck By Chance' was amazing...really...i dont think there cud hav been anyone else in the industry who cud fit that chhotu role better than u..."aap khyoon nahi...murder boliye"...kickass man...way to go..!! All the best for DEV D...desperate to watch it..God Bless.. :-)

foodie asked, Why did you thanks Danny boyl in ur credits
Anurag Kashyap answers, He told me about the camera ... of how to shoot the trippy sequences.

kamaal asked, Hi Anurag, Kamaal here....I think you came on chat at rediff after the release of No Smoking....to be frank, that movie was a big bore...rather than accepting a mistake that you made a bad film..you said audience isn't ready yet for your kinda cinema...if thats the case, then why don't you make movies when we are ready?
Anurag Kashyap answers, I make what I want to. You watch what you have too.

arjunsomireddy asked, My favourite scene in the movie was the scene where the DEV story begins and Abhey is sitting in the metro starring a stranger in the face combined with the rock version of emotional attyachar....it was just dazzling and spine chilling for me...Great job...Whats your favorite scene in the movie?
Anurag Kashyap answers, The handpump scene and the swimming pool scene.

rajthegr8 asked, hello anurag, i loved no smoking really. i loved ranvir shorey and john's sepia tinted scene where they play young guys? was the laugh track manipulation in that inspired by scene of rodney dangerfield in natural born killers? also jesse randhawa lipsynching to adnan sami was damn trippy. also loved dev d. it was looks to be quite sweet natured. i am a gr8 to see kalki koechlin as not just another pretty face. she is genuinely talented and fan. i also liked abhay del a lot. send this movie to oscars.
Anurag Kashyap answers, Oscars is too far fetched. Lets think about the box office now. If you like it, then spread the word.

Hemal asked, hi, Anurag congrats for your film success, im very happy for you, since now you make more flms & your old films paanch & gulal would see light.
Anurag Kashyap answers, Thank you so much.

abhijeetgc asked, Anurag, your movie is way way ahead of its time. You have done what Gurudutt did to Pyaasa years ago! Cheers! You are the modern day GURU DUTT!
Anurag Kashyap answers, I hope not. I don't want to die so soon.

Shatrughan asked, I read some where you are making movie on our "Banaras"...its true ???and if yes then what is story line??
Anurag Kashyap answers, Yeah, I am. Soon. Right now Ashish Shukla is working on the script.

vinjk asked, what was the significance of the three guys(you keep showing) in the movie? i'm talking about those dancers... great movie by the way!
Anurag Kashyap answers, No significance. They were just there witnessing the story. Like Sanjay in Mahabharat.

manub4u asked, congrats ! u did fantastic work this time
Anurag Kashyap answers, Thanks.
