Anurag Kashyap’s admiration for cricket stars
Anurag Kashyap has often shared his love for cricket. In an earlier interview with Filmygyan, he spoke about making biopics on cricket stars. When asked if he would consider making a biopic on Virat Kohli, he said he would rather take a more challenging subject. “I don’t know if I would want to because he’s already a hero to many people, to many children.
