Anurag Kashyap claims to be busier than SRK, says he 'turns down projects daily'

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap dismisses retirement rumors, claims he's booked until 2028 and jokes about being busier than Shah Rukh Khan.

"I am busier than Shah Rukh Khan... I don’t have dates until 2028. – Anurag Kashyap"

Mumbai, April 18

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has cleared the air on rumours suggesting he has quit the film industry, after many believed he had taken a break or moved away from directing. However, the director himself has now put all speculation to rest.

Taking to his X account on Friday, Kashyap shared that he has only changed cities, not careers, and is still very much involved in making films. Kashyap went on to joke that he's even "busier than Shah Rukh Khan" as he has no "free dates 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). 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 list, and I am so employed that I turn down three projects a day...." read his X post.

While I admire Kashyap's work, I wish he'd focus more on quality than quantity. Some of his recent films felt rushed compared to his earlier masterpieces.

Excited for Dacoit! Anurag as a police officer sounds interesting. His acting in Raman Raghav was brilliant - hope he brings that intensity again.

"No dates until 2028" is such a mood 😆 But seriously, his work ethic is inspiring. Makes me want to be more productive in my own field!
