MUMBAI: Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap says when "Gangs Of Wasseypur" released on this day seven years ago, his life got "ruined". June 22, 2012 was when the first instalment of the two-part "Gangs of Wasseypur" released. It is a cult film that revolves around a gangster who clashes with a ruthless, coal-mining kingpin.
"Gangs Of Wasseypur", based on a real life story, was loved by the masses for its rawness. It had managed to collecte Rs 10 crore in the opening weekend. The gang war drama based in Wasseypur in Dhanbad district, Jharkhand, featured Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Piyush Mishra and Richa Chadha.
Kashyap has helmed films like "Black Friday", "Dev D", "Gulaal", "Ugly", "Raman Raghav", "Mukkabaaz" and "Manmarziyaan". He is currently working on a new film with Roshan Mathew and Saiyami Kher.
