Timeline

1972

Anurag Kashyap (born 10 September 1972) is an Indian filmmaker and actor known for his works in Hindi cinema.

He is the recipient of several accolades, including four Filmfare Awards.

Kashyap was born on 10 September 1972 to a Rajput family in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh.

His father Sri Prakash Singh is a retired Chief Engineer of the Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited and was posted in Obra Thermal Power Station in Sonbhadra district near Varanasi.

He did his grade sixth from Hillgrange School, Dehradun and, grade seven onwards, at the Scindia School in Gwalior.

Some of the locations used in Gangs of Wasseypur are also influenced from his own old house where he himself lived with his parents, sister, Anubhuti Kashyap, and brother, Abhinav Kashyap.

1976

The day they met, Kashyap watched Taxi Driver (1976) at Nair's place, and the film inspired him to "write something".

The team of Sriram Raghavan, Sridhar Raghavan and Shiv Subramaniam were working on two projects, one of which was a short TV series, Auto Narayan, based on the life of serial killer Auto Shankar; the second one was a film scripted by Kashyap.

Auto Narayan got delayed because the script written by Subramaniam was not "working".

Kashyap rewrote the script and got credit for the same, but it was scrapped.

1993

Owing to his desire to become a scientist, Kashyap went to Delhi for his higher studies and enrolled himself into a zoology course at the Hansraj College (University of Delhi); he graduated in 1993.

He then eventually joined the street theatre group, Jana Natya Manch; and did many street plays.

The same year, his couple of friends "urged [him] to catch a de Sica retrospective" at the International Film Festival of India.

In ten days, he saw 55 films at the festival, and Vittorio De Sica's Bicycle Thieves was the film that influenced him the most.

After the de Sica experience, Kashyap arrived in Mumbai in 1993 with INR 5,000 in his pocket.

Soon the money ran out, and he spent months on the streets, staying in lofts, "sleeping on beaches," "under a water tank and in the St Xavier's [college] boys hostel."

He then managed to find work at Prithvi Theatre, but his first play remained incomplete because the director died.

1995

In 1995, an acquaintance introduced Kashyap to Shivam Nair.

1997

In 1997, he wrote the screenplay of Hansal Mehta's first film, Jayate which failed to find a theatrical release; and episodes of the TV series Kabhie Kabhie (1997).

1998

After writing a television serial, Kashyap got his major break as a co-writer in Ram Gopal Varma's crime drama Satya (1998) and made his directorial debut with Paanch, which never had a theatrical release due to censorship issues.

In 1998, actor Manoj Bajpayee suggested his name to Ram Gopal Varma to write a film.

Varma liked Kashyap's Auto Narayan and hired him, alongside Saurabh Shukla to write the script for his crime film, Satya (1998).

Satya was a critical and commercial success, and is regarded as one of the best films of Indian cinema.

1999

He later collaborated with Varma in scripting Kaun (1999) and writing dialogues for Shool (1999).

In 1999, he made a short film, titled Last Train to Mahakali for television.

2004

2007

Its release was held up for two years by the District Board of Film Certification because of the pending verdict of the case at that time but was released in 2007 to widespread critical appreciation.

Kashyap's follow-up, No Smoking (2007) met with negative reviews and performed poorly at the box-office.

2009
