Bollywood doesn’t have the ‘brains’ to produce a movie like Pushpa, according to Anurag Kashyap: “Everybody is attempting to construct a universe.”

Anurag Kashyap has reiterated his harsh stance on modern Hindi filmmakers and the state of the industry. In a new interview, the filmmaker said the makers in the Hindi film industry—colloquially called Bollywood—lack the ‘brains’ to make something like Pushpa: The Rise or Pushpa 2: The Rule. The latter, a Telugu film, is the highest-grossing Indian film of 2024.

Anurag Kashyap on Bollywood and Pushpa

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Anurag said that the Hindi film industry does not want to take risks now. “They don’t understand anything. They can’t even make a Puspa. They cannot, because they don’t have the brains to make a film. They don’t understand what filmmaking is. Pushpa can only be made by Sukumar. In the South, they invest in filmmakers and empower them to make films. Here, everyone is trying to create a universe. Do they understand their own universe and how minuscule they are in it? That’s the ego. When you create a universe, you think you’re God,” the filmmaker said.

Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2: The Rule stars Allu Arjun in the title role, alongside Fahadh Faasil and Rashmika Mandanna. The film has earned over ₹1760 crore worldwide and is still going strong in the theatres. It is the third-highest-grossing Indian film ever, and is expected to surpass Baahubali 2: The Conclusion soon.

Anurag Kashyap on Kennedy

In the same interview, the filmmaker also lambasted the studio model that has emerged in the Indian filmmaking space, saying it does not allow room for creativity. He cited the example of his last film, Kennedy, which was praised at the Cannes Film Festival, but is unable to find a release in India. “I’ve detached myself from Kennedy, because I don’t want it to become like Black Friday. I will not let anything pull me down again in life,” said Anurag.

Anurag Kashyap’s Kennedy stars Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone. It premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and earned rave reviews at other festivals worldwide. Since its release, Anurag has not directed a film but has acted in a few, including Leo, Maharaja, and Viduthalai Part 2.

Sam Asghari, the former spouse of Britney Spears, makes his Instagram debut alongside Brooke Irvine.

Exactly a month after Britney Spears and Sam Asghari’s marriage was dissolved, the actor dropped pictures with his new girlfriend Brooke Irvine.
Exactly a month ago, popstar Britney Spears and actor Sam Asghari were declared legally single on her birthday after their three-year marriage got dissolved. Now, a day after bringing in the new year, Sam shared pictures from his New Year’s Eve vacation on Instagram, introducing his new girlfriend in the process.

Sam makes it Instagram official

Sam took to his Instagram handle on Thursday and shared five pictures with a new woman. In the first one, they posed intimately under a palm tree. In the next one, they sunbathed, with them lying together on a tilted palm tree next to the sea. The third one had them holding each other on the dance floor, while the fourth one had him looking at her affectionately as they sat inside a vehicle. The last one was a mirror selfie clicked by her, in which he holds her gently, with both twinning in white. Sam captioned the post, “Happy New Year to All.”

While he didn’t tag the woman on Instagram, Just Jared has identified her as Brooke Irvine. She’s a real estate agent and a former cheerleader based out of Los Angeles. However, she’s kept her Instagram account private.

Britney, Sam’s divorce

On December 2, 2024, the pop icon was officially declared legally single, marking the end of her marriage to Sam Asghari. This event comes seven months after the couple reached a divorce settlement in May. Although the divorce had already been settled earlier this year, it was on her birthday that the legal status of her singlehood was officially recognised. Legal documents obtained confirmed December 2, 2024 as the final date of the couple’s marriage dissolution.

Sam Asghari, 30, initially filed for divorce in August 2023, following a little over a year of marriage with the singer. In his public statement at the time, he expressed that he hoped the media and public would approach the matter with kindness and respect. He added, “We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other and I wish her the best always.”
