No matter how much gaali people give to Anurag for Bombay Velvet, he has been a blessing for upcoming talent in Bollywood. I have never seen a producer before give so much of oppurtunity to new talent in every aspect of film making and that is why for me Anurag as a producer will always be wayy above than Anurag as a director.

The director of Masaan was his AD for Gangs of Wasseypur and now Phantom is producing his film.

@KSB, agree , even Vikas Behl thanked Anurag Kashyap while accepting an award for Queen and said no one was ready to finance the project, and Kashyap came to rescue / encouraged him to make the movie.

I thought Vicky Kaushal's brother was the director of Masaan.

Indian film 'Masaan' wins Fipresci Award at Cannes

May 23, 2015 Reetu

Indian filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan's indie project "Masaan", centred around a group of people in Varanasi, was awarded the International Federation of Film Critics (Fipresci) award at the 68th Cannes International Film Festival on Saturday.

Actress Richa Chadha, who features in a key role in the film, says the team feels "blessed".

"#MasaanAtCannes just got the Fipresci award, given by the international critics. #blessed :-) team, take a bow," Richa tweeted.

Showcased in the UnCertain Regard section at the movie gala, "Masaan" received a five-minute standing ovation post its screening here, leaving Richa and Ghaywan in tears of joy.

Ghaywan's debut feature project, "Masaan" is set in Varanasi and follows the stories of four people from a small town and how they fit in to the moralities.

It also features Shweta Tripathi, Sanjay Mishra and Vicky Kaushal.

It is an Indian-French co-production with names like Manish Mundra of Drishyam Films, Macassar Productions, Phantom Films, Sikhya Entertainment, Arte France Cinema and Pathe productions.

The top prizes for the main selection at the gala will be awarded on Sunday night during the closing ceremony at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes. Jury presidents Joel and Ethan Coen will announce the winners, reports hollywoodreporter.com.
