Whether or not the #MeToo movement in Bollywood aptly penalised those accused of sexual harassment is debatable, but it did cripple Phantom Films after Vikas Bahl, one of the production house's four pillars, found himself in the infamous list. Yet, the debacle of the company couldn't hamper the equation that co-founders Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag Kashyap share, as the former tells us while discussing his forthcoming offering, Sacred Games 2.

"I have known him for 25 years and he is my closest friend. We are absolutely comfortable [working together]. At the same time, we can even kill each other. We have our creative differences. The Phantom story may be over, but I will continue to collaborate with Anurag," says Motwane, who is the show-runner of Kashyap-directed Sacred Games 2, after co-directing the first season of Netflix's project with him.
