Actor Pankaj Jha of Panchayat talked about how Anurag Kashyap "didn't keep his word" and how he was replaced in Gangs of Wasseypur in a recent podcast interview.
One of the greatest films that Anurag Kashyap has ever directed is Gangs of Wasseypur. GOW and GOW 2, the movie's two sections, were released. Manoj Bajpayee, Richa Chadha, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Huma Qureshi, Pankaj Tripathi, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Rajkummar Rao, and other actors made up the ensemble cast of Gangs of Wasseypur.
Sultan Qureshi stands out among a plethora of intriguing people even today. None other than Pankaj Tripathi wrote the piece. As a matter of fact, Pankaj Jha was originally selected to play Sultan Qureshi, not Tripathi. Jha was finally replaced, though. Recently, Pankaj Jha, who starred in Panchayat: Season 3, made a subtle jab at Anurag Kashyap on the events that transpired while filming Gangs of Wasseypur.
Pankaj Jha discusses the Wasseypur Gangs
Pankaj Jha was asked whether the Gulaal actor who was replaced in Gangs of Wasseypur was involved in politics during a podcast interview with Digital Commentary. Additionally, he asked if his career graph would change if he had received a GOW.
He said, "I don't care about the politics that happens behind my back," in response. It's only a winner for them if it hurts me. I mean, most people who become involved in politics behind someone else's back are cowards, right? If not, they would have approached us directly."
Anurag Kashyap is indirectly mocked by Pankaj Jha
The actor referred to himself as a "director-making actor" when questioned about his past work with Anurag Kashyap on Gulaal and Black Friday, as well as how the Gangs of Wasseypur episode affected their relationship. He ridiculed Kashyap, saying that he was spineless' and 'timid' in those days.
"Movies like Gulaal and Satya not only develop performers but also directors. But they can't even honour their word since there are so many cowardly and fearful people here, Jha, who plays Vidhayak Ji in Panchayat, remarked. In reference to Kashyap, he said, "Later, I found out that the director himself was in a bad situation, getting no work, and was doing 36 different jobs on this project."
Regarding Pankaj Jha's work
Pankaj Jha has acted in movies such as Monsoon Wedding, Company, Haasil, Matrubhoomi, and Teen Patti in addition to Gulaal and Black Friday. This year, Gauraiya Live was his last appearance.
