New Delhi June 22 (IANS) From "Black Friday" to "Gangs Of Wasseypur" to "Udta Punjab" to "Lust Stories" Anurag Kashyap wants to start a conversation on several social issues with his cinema. He says he makes films to evoke and provoke.
"I always (want my cinema to strike a conversation). I make films to evoke and provoke. And that usually leads to a conversation " Kashyap told IANS over an email.
His project "Lust Stories" shows stories on love and lust and has garnered a positive response. The director says it is time to have "conversations around the subject of sex".
"It s high time and only natural " he added.
He says his sports film "Mukkabaaz" -- which deals with the struggle of a boxer and with social issues like caste system youth politics and the power play of people -- holds a special place in his heart. The film will air on Saturday on &pictures.
Will he make more films around sports?
"Sports was the canvas for me to tell a story about people. I didn t set out to make a sports film. I m not looking to make another sports film because I m bored of its predictable heroic/underdog trajectory. Having said that if any other story deserves the backdrop of sports I am more than willing to consider it " he said.
