Filmmaker Sets the Record Straight: ‘I’m Not Going Anywhere’

Bollywood’s boldest auteur has had enough of the chatter. Acclaimed director Anurag Kashyap fired back at speculation surrounding his career this week, making it crystal clear that reports of his professional retreat are wildly off the mark.

Sources reveal the filmmaker — known for his politically independent stance and unconventional cinematic vision — recently changed his city of residence, a move that apparently sent rumour mills into overdrive. Observers had speculated the relocation signalled a step back from the film industry, a notion Kashyap shot down without hesitation.

Far from winding down, entertainment circles suggest the director is operating at a pace that would make even the biggest names in the business blink. Insiders note his slate is packed well beyond 2025, with as many as five directorial projects potentially landing this year alone — with a further two expected in early 2026 if timelines shift.

Critics note that Kashyap’s filmography remains one of the most extensive in contemporary Indian cinema, and his current workload appears to reflect that relentless output. According to sources close to the filmmaker, he is routinely turning down multiple project offers daily simply due to capacity.

The director has also been actively championing his upcoming project Dacoit, sharing promotional material and release updates with audiences directly. His hands-on promotional approach signals anything but a man stepping away from the spotlight.

Kashyap himself has described his political outlook as ‘diagonal’ — neither aligned left, right, nor centre — and that independent spirit appears equally present in how he navigates industry gossip. He addressed the swirling rumours head-on with characteristic bluntness, leaving little room for misinterpretation.

For anyone expecting a quieter chapter from one of Indian cinema’s most provocative voices, it seems they may have a very long wait ahead.

Cricket icon Harbhajan Singh has added his powerful voice to the growing chorus of praise surrounding Diljit Dosanjh’s deeply moving film Satluj, calling it a cinematic achievement that left him profoundly shaken and reflective.

Taking to his verified social media handle, the former Indian spin bowling legend penned a heartfelt note after watching the biographical drama, which chronicles the extraordinary bravery of Punjab-based human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra. Harbhajan drew a striking comparison between the horrors of the historic Jallianwala Bagh massacre — carried out under colonial rule — and what he described as an arguably deeper wound: the alleged abuse of power by those very institutions entrusted to protect innocent citizens.

In his emotional post, Harbhajan Singh wrote about the haunting reality of state-sanctioned alleged disappearances and clandestine cremations that Khalra risked — and ultimately sacrificed — his life to expose. He stressed that Punjab’s grieving mothers and countless families continue to await truth and justice, decades later.

The cricketer-turned-commentator reserved special praise for director Honey Trehan and lead actor Diljit Dosanjh, applauding both for bringing this largely unsung chapter of Punjab’s history to global audiences with sensitivity and courage.

On the numbers front, Satluj is making waves on the ratings circuit, having secured an enviable 9.4 score on IMDB backed by over 41,000 viewer reviews — a benchmark that eclipses other widely celebrated recent releases including Dhurandhar and Main Vaapas Aaunga.

The film’s remarkable reception underscores a growing audience appetite for courageous, issue-driven storytelling that goes beyond mainstream entertainment. With endorsements pouring in from cultural icons across India, Satluj is firmly cementing its place as one of the most significant Punjabi-language cinematic offerings in recent memory.
