Filmmaker-actor Anurag Kashyap stepped away from acting for a brief period to avoid being typecast in similar roles. The 53-year-old noticed a pattern in the kind of roles being offered to him, feeling creatively stagnant.
Kashyap turned down projects and stepped back, seeking a fresh challenge. His return to acting was driven by the need to break away from the mould he had been associated with.
“In my journey, I’ve seen all kinds of waves… Nothing is permanent — not trends, not perceptions. Every Friday is new. And maybe that’s why you have to keep reinventing yourself as well, because if you don’t, you just get stuck in one version of yourself,” he signs off.
