A movie released in 2012 that changed the cinema dynamics of Bollywood. Born from the minds of Anurag Kashyap, Gangs of Wasseypur made the world go berserk in joy about what a masterpiece an ensemble of underrated actors created. Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who was a part of it, has now spoken about how impromptu many things happened on set and that he misses Anurag dearly.

Recently, while speaking to India Today, Nawaz revealed that when offered initially, he had rejected the movie, calling it ‘bakwas’. He recalled that there were only five dialogues written for him, and with great difficulty, Manoj Bajpayee was also given some random lines. It was when the crew was on set that “Anurag ke andar ek jaanwar jaag gaya,” revealed Siddiqui.
Anurag Kashyap started writing the script on the spot, which birthed the movie, which the world now knows as a cult classic. According to the Haddi actor, until this time, there was no script but just a vague idea in Kashyap’s mind that he wanted to translate into a movie. In fact, in the initial few days, the shooting didn’t even take place due to financial reasons.
