Anurag Kashyap regrets ignoring Sushant Singh Rajput’s collaboration request three weeks before his death

Director Anurag Kashyap opened up about his regret for not collaborating with late actor Sushant Singh Rajput even after his request. He also said that said that he felt pangs of guilt for saying things publicly about Abhay Deol.

In an interview with Showsha, Anurag talked about Abhay and Sushant and said, ‘It’s taken me a year-and-a-half of sickness to realise a lot of things. I was so reactive; I would say things. I would say things out of anger, out of reaction, to things I felt perturbed by. It took me time to realise that I’m shouting, I’m shouting in a room full of people shouting. Nobody’s listening to each other, not just to me. That’s what social media has become. And I stepped back. I said, ‘Why am I reacting to this? What is bothering me?’’

He added that a lot has changed, and he has realized that he doesn’t need to tell everything. ‘A lot has changed, but I know I have no filter. But it’s also made me realise I don’t need to say everything… For example, that whole spat between me and Abhay. Somebody was doing an article about why a very good actor like Abhay is no longer in the movies, and I spoke about my experiences, something that happened 13 years ago. I didn’t need to say it publicly. And the day the unfortunate incident happened of SSR, I felt so bad. Three weeks prior to that somebody was trying to reach out because he wanted to talk, and I was like, ‘No, he ghosted me, I don’t want to talk’. You get pangs of guilt. So, I tried to reach out to Abhay and I apologised to him, because somebody had told me that he was upset about me speaking publicly about him.’

On the work front, Anurag Kashyap’s last film was ‘Dobaaraa’ that starred Taapsee Pannu and Pavail Gulati. His next project is ‘Almost Pyaar With DJ Mohabbat’ that stars Alaya F and newcomer Karan Mehta.
