Anurag Kashyap, who underwent an angioplasty surgery last year, turns 50 today
New Delhi: At 50, Anurag Kashyap is unstoppable.
Continuously shooting movies, scripting stories, and even taking out time to reply to trolls on social media, Anurag is a very busy man.
Despite undergoing angioplasty last year, after a mild plain, he has been living an active life. Anurag says the condition made him realise that health is also very important. “I did realise after the surgery that I need to take care of myself, which I do now,” he told an interview to a film portal.

But Kashyap says he cannot sit idle. “I rested enough. I am back to shoot, finish post productions, and work on my next movies,” he said.
During the surgery, Anurag was wrapping up “Dobaara”, starring Taapsee Pannu, which was released earlier this month.

Known for his guerrilla-filmmaking techniques, the Gangs of Wasseypur director was born on September 10 in Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh. He never thought of becoming a part of cinema and always wanted to be a scientist since childhood.
“The reason why I came to Delhi was to learn science but gradually got drawn to theatre. But now movies are my life,” he said.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
Always in the news for his controversial statements, Anurag has also completed 20 years in the film industry this year. His movies like Black Friday, Dev D, Manmarziyan, and Raman Raghav 2.0 have been iconic and have created niche audiences and fans.
Anurag, who has aced his craft in making edgy cinema, is the recipient of several accolades, including four Filmfare Awards, and the prestigious Government of France-sponsored Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters).
His upcoming movies include Cargo and Kriti Sanon-starrer Hindi remake of Hollywood cult Kill Bill.
