In a recent interview with News18 filmmaker, Anurag Kashyap said, “I am the most nepotistic filmmaker in the country. What is nepotism? Okay fine, my daughter is not there in the films but I will not hire somebody who I don’t know. It’s not a camp, it’s not even favoritism. I need to know my people because I trust them. I work with a lot of trust so when I trust someone, it has to be fully there and I trust people that I hire.”

He further added, “Who do you trust the most in your (troubled) time? Actually, anybody will trust family, right, so for me, my set is like my family. That does exist and ek ke through hi dusra aata hai, Woh nepotism hi hai (I hire people through those in my touch. That is nepotism). If my first AD (assistant director) is leaving, I would not know who is a good AD in the market. My AD will give me another AD who is good. If my production designer is leaving, he will give me another production designer.”

The filmmaker is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming film, Dobaaraa, the film will mark the collaboration of Taapsee and Anurag after their film Manmarziyaan. The film is the official Hindi remake of the 2018 Spanish movie Mirage. Written by Nihit Bhave, the film also stars Pavail Gulati, Rahul Bhat, and Saswata Chatterjee.
