Naseeruddin Shah is an inspiration: Anurag Kashyap
September 3rd, 2011 - 1:29 am ICT by IANSMumbai, Sep 2 (IANS) Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who has worked with versatile actor Naseeruddin Shah as a producer in ?That Girl In Yellow Boots? and now in ?Michael?, says the 61-year-old is an inspiration for him.
?He (Naseeruddin Shah) is an inspiration. As an actor when he comes on to the sets, the whole atmosphere changes. He lends a pure energy to the sets which is great. I have had an unspoken relationship with Naseer ji since years. I saw Naseer ji?s film when I was in school and since then I have been a fan,? Kashyap told reporters here at an event to promote his upcoming production venture ?Michael?.
?Naseer ji has always supported me. When I didn?t have money and even when I had money he has come all out to support - whether it?s a one-day shoot like in `That Girl In Yellow Boots? or a whole film like `Michael?. He is always very supportive, encouraging and even critical,? he added.
In ?Michael?, Naseeruddin plays the protagonist, and the role is basically about the trials and tribulations of a tainted cop. The film has been directed by newcomer called Ribhu Das Gupta and will be screened at the Toronto Film Festival before its release in India next month.
