Adivi Sesh calls Anurag Kashyap, 'India's best Hindi dialogue writer'
Mumbai, March 23
Actor-director-writer Adivi Sesh, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film 'Dacoit', has shared his experience of working with director-actor Anurag Kashyap in the film.
The actor spoke with IANS during the promotions of the film, and called Anurag Kashyap, "India's best Hindi dialogue writer".
Sharing his experience of working with Anurag Kashyap, he told IANS, "He constantly surprised me, surprised me with the first moment when I met him at his house, we were discussing the story for the first narration after me pitching it to him. He was so unfiltered and honest. And it was almost childlike because you don't see people with that level of honesty because there's always a certain amount of manicuring and diplomacy we all have in the world. And the fact that he didn't have it was so refreshing and it was beautiful. And it made me want to be authentic, my authentic self in front of him".
He shared, "On a side note, what happened was us having him, India's best Hindi dialogue writer on set with us. And him giving us Hindi lines for free all over was fantastic. That was just good, that was a great moment. He's a very, very good actor".
"It's so interesting that he never actually crossed the line into saying, he never directed us. Just one day after almost 90% of the movie was over, we had a few more days left. He came to me and said, 'If you'll give me permission, I just want to tell you one thing in one scene'. I was like, 'Sir, please'. That one hour was a masterclass for me. I think it's extraordinary, and just how amazing he is", he added.

Interesting to see a Telugu star like Sesh praising Kashyap so highly. This kind of cross-industry respect is what Indian cinema needs more of. Looking forward to 'Dacoit'!
While I respect Kashyap's work, calling him the "best" is a bit much. What about legends like Gulzar saab or Javed Akhtar? Their poetry and depth are unmatched. Kashyap is great for gritty realism, but best is subjective.
The part about his "childlike" honesty is so telling. In an industry full of filters, someone who speaks their mind is truly rare. It must have been an incredible learning experience for Sesh.
"Giving us Hindi lines for free all over" haha! That's the real bonus of having him on set. His cameo in Badlapur was fantastic too. Man is a multi-talented genius.
This collaboration is so exciting! Adivi Sesh makes brilliant films (Major was superb) and Anurag Kashyap is a force of nature. Can't wait to see what they've created together. The hype is real! 🔥
