Overview
- Anurag Kashyap says Gangs of Wasseypur both "made and ruined" him as audiences still identify him primarily with the 2012 two-part saga.
- He reiterates he will not make a third Wasseypur film, saying he refuses to chase expectations or compete for box-office supremacy.
- Kashyap links Nishaanchi’s weak box office to the Wasseypur shadow, noting Part 1 "failed to collect even Rs 2 crore" domestically.
- He says Nishaanchi was conceived for Prime Video but was split into two with Part 1 sent to theaters, a strategy he believes backfired.
- Viewers were surprised by Part 1’s abrupt ending, and he adds that those who embraced the film tended to watch both parts together once they debuted simultaneously on streaming.
