I’d love to make ‘Munnabhai’-type film: Anurag Kashyap (Film Snippets)
By IANSThursday, July 8, 2010
MUMBAI - Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who has churned out intense films like “Black Friday”, “Dev D” and “Gulaal”, says he would love to make a comedy like “Munnabhai MBBS”.
“I’m not averse to it at all. I would love to make something like ‘Munnabhai MBBS’. You need talent to be able to pull off something like that. In fact, I quite envy directors like Rajkumar Hirani and Dibakar Banerjee because they make such wonderful films,” Kashyap told IANS.
Kashyap is currently awaiting the release of his production venture “Udaan”, a story about a father-son relationship that was screened at the Cannes International Film Festival earlier this year.

I don’t strategise my roles: Kangana
Actress Kangana Ranaut, who will sport a retro look in the upcoming film “Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai”, says she doesn’t really plan out the kind of roles she takes on.
“I don’t strategise when it comes to the kind of roles I want to do. When a good film comes, I do it and if I don’t like it, I don’t…it’s not that I sit and think that this is what I want to do and this is what I don’t want to do,” Kangana told IANS.
The actress has mostly done serious roles in films like “Gangster”, “Woh Lamhe” and “Raaz - the Mystery Continues”.
