“So got my first vehicle that I bought myself, a Mahindra XUV, super and 100 percent Indian. Proud,” Kashyap tweeted.
The filmmaker, who is known for making critically acclaimed movies like “Dev D”, “Gulaal” and “Udaan”, reveals it took him nearly two decades to buy his own vehicle.

It features an ensemble cast including Jaideep Ahlawat, Manoj Bajpai, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Richa Chadda.
“Gangs of Wasseypur” was screened at the 2012 Directors’ Fortnight, an independently-curated, non-competitive event at the 65th Cannes International Film Festival.
