One of the most famous and controversial Bollywood film director, producer and screenwriter Anurag Kashyap reacting to a tweet said that his life got ruined exactly seven years ago. This statement came on the day when his film Gangs of Wasseypur part 1 completed 7 years. Blaming the success of Gangs Of Wasseypur, one of his most liked works, he said that “everyone wants me to make films like Gangs of Wasseypur again and again but I have been unsuccessfully trying to get away from that expectation.” He termed the 7 years of Gangs of Wasseypur as “Sade-Sati” and expected it to end by 2019. Sade Sati is a seven and a half year long astrological phase in which planet Saturn (Shani) governs a person’s fortune generally marked by challenges and hardship.
The statement was made by Kashyap reacting to a tweet of Arré, an Infotainment website. In their tweet, the website mentioned that the dialogues of the gangster film have achieved cult status. The tweet said that some of the movie’s dialogues that include hardcore abuses by Tigmanshu Dhulia sounded poetic and Manoj Bajpayee way of using cuss words elevates it to something Voltaire. The statement was made by the website quoting the 7th anniversary of Gangs of Wasseypur.
