Anurag Kashyap and Zeishan Quadri team up for ‘Meeruthiya Gangsters’
MUMBAI: Anurag Kashyap and Zeishan Quadri, who have earlier worked together in Gangs of Wasseypur 1 & 2 series, have come together yet again for Meeruthiya Gangsters.
While Quadri has directed the film, Kashyap has edited it. It was in the process of editing the film that Kashyap found the script very interesting and hence decided to present the film too.
Kashyap, who has already worn the director’s and producer’s hats has now stepped into the editor’s shoes with Meeruthiya Gangsters and will also be active for all the promotional activities and events for the film.
Kashyap will launch the first trailer of the movie in the first week of August.
“When Zeishan invited me to see the first cut, I kind of made an excuse, because I was scared I might not like it. Then Vasan Bala called me and said he was blown by it. Then I went and saw it and was not just surprised but completely taken in by it. Vasan and I sat with him and gave our feedback. The film is so funny and edgy and also so contemporary. A modern India that’s developing in the shadows of shopping malls and aspirations and need to be rich overnight. I loved the film and so decided to come on board. You see the film and you can see where the characters of Wasseypur came from,” said Kashyap.
