Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has clarified that despite relocating from Mumbai and distancing himself from Bollywood, he has not quit filmmaking. In a characteristically candid post on X (formerly Twitter), Kashyap said he’s working on multiple projects and remains fully booked until 2028.

"I have relocated cities. I have not left filmmaking. For all the people who think I am frustrated and gone—I am here and I am busier than Shah Rukh Khan (I have to be, I don’t make as much money)," he wrote. "I don’t have dates until 2028. I have five directorials hopefully coming out this year—or maybe three now and two early next year. I have the longest IMDb and I’m so employed that I say no to three projects a day."

Known for his unfiltered opinions, Kashyap ended his post with a provocative quip that sparked mixed reactions online. While some fans expressed concern, others showed support. One user wrote, "Don’t do this again. Just focus on making good films." Another added, "You don’t need to prove anything, Sir."

Last month, in an interview with ‘The Hindu’, Kashyap revealed that he had moved to Bangalore and described the Bollywood ecosystem as "toxic." He said, “Everyone is chasing unrealistic targets, trying to make the next ₹500 or ₹800 crore film. The creative atmosphere is gone.”

Despite the relocation, Kashyap is actively working. He will next appear in ‘Dacoit – Ek Prem Katha’, a bilingual Hindi-Telugu film where he plays a cop. The film also stars Mrunal Thakur and Adivi Sesh, and is being shot in Hyderabad and Maharashtra.

While Kashyap may be physically removed from Mumbai, his creative slate suggests he’s far from done with cinema.
