Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap not only wanted to get
his film Gangs of Wasseypur 2 released in Dhanbad where the story is
based, he was also hoping to premiere it there. However, the cops of
Dhanbad have put paid to his dream. Forget a premiere, the film will not
even be releasing in Dhanbad. Incidentally, even the first part wasn’t
released in Dhanbad because the locals there were offended with certain
portions of the film. But apparently, since the film did well, the
residents of Wasseypur had given Anurag a green signal for the film to
get released, but now the cops are not allowing it. Says Anurag, “The
film was all set to be premiered and released in Dhanbad, Wasseypur this
time, but due to some sensitive issues, police has not yet permitted
for Wasseypur 2 to be released in Dhanbad. This has in a way set me off
because it was my dream to have a premiere of Part 2 in Wasseypur.” |
