Taking to his official Instagram account, the Gangs of Wasseypur director wrote, "I wasted a lot of time trying to help newcomers and mostly ended up up with mediocre shit. So now onwards I don't want to waste my time with meeting random people who think they're creative geniuses. So I will now have rates. If some one wants to meet me for 10-15 minutes I will charge 1 lac, for half hour 2 lacs and for 1 hour 5 lacs. That's the rate."
He added, "I am tired of wasting time meeting people. If you really think you can afford it, call me or stay the fu*k away. And all paid in advance."
In the caption, Anurag wrote, "And I mean it... don’t text or dm or call me. Pay and you will get time. I am not a charity and I am tired of people looking for shortcuts."
Jokingly, his daughter Aaliyah Kashyap remarked shortly after he published the post, "Forwarding this to everyone in my dms and email who keep sending me scripts to forward to you."
The director is renowned for taking a direct and honest stance when talking on a variety of topics. He never hesitates to voice his opinions and views on many topics.
