Udaan hero's life similar to Anurag Kashyap's

Anurag Kashyap, who has co-written and produced Udaan, says the protagonist's life is quite similar to his own. Udaan is about a young boy Rohan who is abandoned by his parents in a boarding school for eight years. He comes back and is further bullied by his father and forced to work in a factory and study engineering when all he wants to do is become an actor. The film marks the directorial debut of Vikramaditya Motwane, the film's co-writer.

Anurag admitted that he initially did not believe the film will run, as his own films Paanch and Black Friday had encountered several problems and could not be released. Once they were, Anurag's belief was restored. That's when he decided to get his friend's help and produce the film.
