Happy Birthday Anurag Kashyap: Interesting Facts To Know About The Actor-Director

Anurag Kashyap, a celebrated filmmaker and actor, marks his 54th birthday on Thursday. His career path is a fascinating one, transitioning from a science degree to the world of cinema. Before he became a household name in Indian films, Kashyap was a student of Zoology at Hans Raj College, Delhi University. His fascination with science was real, but it was a performance of Macbeth that ignited his passion for theatre, eventually leading him to the silver screen.

Kashyap's move to Mumbai with just ₹5,000 under his belt was far from easy. He resorted to sleeping on the streets when his finances ran low. Before his foray into filmmaking, Kashyap had a stint as a writer in the television industry. This experience, coupled with his deepening love for cinema, set the stage for his illustrious career in the film industry, marked by critically acclaimed movies such as Gangs of Wasseypur, Black Friday, and Dev.D.
