Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap says he has no plans of pursuing an acting career despite appearing in several recent films. He emphasizes that filmmaking and writing remain his true passion

Behind the camera is arguably Anurag Kashyap’s favourite place in the world. That said, of late, we’ve seen him facing the camera just as much. The filmmaker featured in four releases last year, and will soon be seen in three more — the Tamil action thriller One 2 One, Telugu drama Dacoit: A Love Story, and the Kannada sports drama 8. It looks like the acting bug has bitten him.
“I don’t enjoy acting. I don’t want to have an acting career or be known as a star-actor,” states Kashyap, insisting that filmmaking will always be his true love. “I love making and writing films. The process of filmmaking is in my blood. I am making movies non-stop and I want to continue making them. In my free time, I am also writing,” says Kashyap, whose directorial venture Nishaanchi released in September.
