Anurag Kashyap

2015 is a year Anurag Kashyap would like to forget as a director. Bombay Velvet, a period film on the Mumbai underworld, flopped. While NH 10, which was co-produced by Phantom Films, a company co-founded by him, was a hit, other productions, Shaandaar, Hunterr and Masaan, didn't do well though the latter won acclaim in the film festival circuit. Phantom's Udta Punjab and Ghoomketu are due to release in 2016. <br><b>Fast Fact:</b>&nbsp;Kashyap's work inspired British director Danny Boyle in his film Slumdog Millionaire.
