In this episode of Sit with Hitlist, Mid-Day’s Mayank Shekhar sits down with the ultimate rebel of Indian filmmaking—Anurag Kashyap. Known for pulling no punches, the visionary director gets brutally honest about a side of his life rarely seen by the public: his survival. Kashyap opens up about the terrifying reality of suffering two heart attacks, his time in rehab, and the extreme physical toll of pulling 15-hour writing marathons. Beyond the personal health scares, Anurag pulls back the curtain on the chaotic, indie-style hustle behind his acclaimed film Kennedy. He reveals a mind-blowing, perspective-shifting encounter with legendary Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola that completely altered his view on creating "masterpieces."
