"
Bombay Velvet's colossal failure has liberated me," said filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. "There was a lot said and then there was this need in me to make a hit film, a successful film and people had told me, 'Anurag, you need to make a film with a super star'. I did see what happened," the filmmaker said with a laugh. "It really doesn't matter. But now, I feel liberated. I am writing more."
The filmmaker, who was in New Delhi for an event, also said: "I really don't know what my style is really they call me a stylish filmmaker, but I don't know what it is since style evolves." (Also Read:

So who for him were the most stylish people in the industry, clothes apart, but vis-a-vis their work?
"Shah Rukh Khan, Irrfan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui among the men and among the ladies Kalki Koechlin (his ex-wife), Deepika Padukone and Kangana Ranaut, who seems to have redefined style," said Mr Kashyap.
Currently working on a film based on the life of notorious serial killer Raman Raghav, Anurag said: "It's Raman Raghav 2:2. No one knows what am actually making so let them guess. The movie starring Nawazuddin is not a typical biopic. I'm attracted towards gritty stories the unexplained things which actually happen." (Also Read:

And is
Gangs of Wasseypur 3 on the cards?
"Yes. Zeishan (Quadri, writer of the
Gangs of Wasseypur series) has an idea and I will just produce it," he replied.
