Anurag in a recent interview, cited Pushpa, Kantara, and KGF’s examples while explaining his viewpoint. He had told Galatta Plus, “Films like Kantara and Pushpa give you the courage to go out and tell your stories. But KGF 2, however big the success, when you try and emulate that and set a project up, that’s when you start heading towards disaster. That’s the bandwagon that Bollywood destroyed itself on. You have to find films that give you courage.”
