Recalling the story, Kashyap said, “Karan Johar gave an interview calling me a psychopath. Till then we had not met. I called him a fat kid, who still thinks he is in school.

He also discussed his acting foray before he got successful as a director. “I had just discovered theatre, and was told that you need to get pictures clicked, if you want work. I did, after collecting Rs 3000, which was a big sum then. And I started doing a lot of acting on stage, and I did some films,” he said.
Anurag Kashyap also recalled the time when he reached Shah Rukh Khan’s bungalow Mannat, and used his college connection as they both were students at Hansraj college in Delhi University. He revealed that he was hungry and walked into SRK’s house, and he remembers the superstar feeding him omelet as that was the only thing he knew how to make.
