Overview
- Kashyap says Netflix greenlit his Hindi adaptation of Suketu Mehta’s Maximum City, then stayed silent for about 18 months before dropping it.
- He says he handwrote more than 900 pages and likened losing the project to a miscarriage.
- He recounts heart attacks, blood thinners, a vaccine reaction, steroid-treated asthma, heavy drinking, and rehab, with differing accounts on how many times this occurred.
- He says Netflix offered no specific reason and later pushed projects he declined, including a request to rework a pilot into a Money Heist–style series, after which he left the platform.
- He credits a cameo offer from Zoya Akhtar on Made in Heaven with helping him return to work, as he now promotes Kennedy, slated to stream on ZEE5 this Friday.
