Anurag founded Anurag Kashyap Films Pvt. Ltd. In 2009. The company has produced such films as: ‘Udaan’ (2010), ‘The Lunchbox’ (2013), and ‘Shahid’ (2013). In 2011, Anurag founded another production Phantom Films, with several partners.

In 2016, he wrote and directed ‘Raman Raghav 2.0’, a psychological thriller starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui as a serial killer, and ‘Mukkabaaz’ (2017), a sports drama starring Vineet Kumar Singh. In 2018, Anurag has been involved in directing a short story for ‘Lust Stories’, and ‘Sacred Games’, a critically acclaimed series on Netflix. As an actor, Anurag can be seen in ‘Akira’ (2016), playing a corrupt police officer, and in ‘AK vs AK’, directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, playing himself. His latest film is ‘Manmarziyaan’, which he directed and produced, starring Abhishek Bachchan, Vicky Kaushal and Taapsee Pannu.

Ever since I was a little girl, I loved a good story. As an American, most of the movies I have watched were made in Hollywood. As I got older I lost interest in Hollywood movies and started watching Bollywood movies. Now I enjoy Tollywood, Kollywood, and Mollywood films as well.
