The movie which had been in the works since 2015 was initially shot with Shahid Kapoor in the lead. ![]() “So if he hadn’t done the film I don’t know if this film would have been there honestly.” Hopefully Anil Kapoor isn’t privy to that information considering he and Kashyap are engaged in a very reel ‘public spat’ while promoting the film.ĬT TALK: IN CONVERSATION WITH VIKRAMADITYA MOTWANE “Kashyap is literally the one person it is written for,” he confesses. As for signing on Kashyap for the lead, he laughingly alludes to the story being circulated by the Gangs of Wasseypur director that he was forced to sign on the dotted line by Motwane. In a Zoom conversation with City Times, the director says when the story was pitched to him he found it an exciting enough premise to sink his teeth into. ![]() In dark comedy AK vs AK Kashyap and Kapoor play themselves - a director and an actor engaged in a real-time drama when the former kidnaps the latter’s daughter (Sonam Kapoor in a cameo) and holds her to ransom while he films the ensuing chaos.
