Maharaja's Anurag Kashyap reveals a filmmaker deliberately sabotaged VFX in his film to make people notice visual effects
Anurag Kashyap and Ram Gopal Varma have never been ones to shy away from expressing opinions candidly. Now, the iconic filmmakers have lashed out against contemporary filmmakers who use formulaic methods to create cinema, with some even revealing a filmmaker's sabotage decision for their own film. In an interview with The Filmy Hustle, hosted by distributor-exhibitor Akshaye Rathi, the cinematic duo came together for the very first time and spoke quite a lot about films. During the conversation, Anurag Kashyap spoke about how the 2016 Marathi film Sairat became a massive hit, and he felt the movie would set a benchmark. However, everyone stopped making such movies and went on to follow a formula. The director mentioned that a filmmaker, whose name he won't say, had deliberately put bad VFX in his film so that everyone would know they had used special effects in his movie. He continued, 'What has happened since KGF, Salaar is that you wonder, why is the DI of all the films looking the same? In Animal (2023), the gore and violence have worked. Hence, filmmakers are getting more and more gore in their films, sometimes without reason!' He further highlighted how filmmakers do not consider 'creating a cinematic experience' as a goal. On the other hand, underlines how the formula they follow is based on a peculiar conviction by a person when everyone around them would advise not to follow it. On the other hand, Ram Gopal Varma added more to the filmmaker's comment and said, 'I never consciously thought of making Satya (1998) at low cost. I was spending what was required, and it created authenticity and realism. If I had spent Rs. 5 crores more, Satya's quality would have been five times lesser!' The Shiva director went on to mention how, following the Baahubali days, many have adopted the mindset that one must spend more on production values and VFX to impress people. The director stated that his issue is not that one can save money by making a film with less cost, but that filmmakers ruin films by spending too much. He concluded that with artificial production values, people are cutting emotions from stories.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Without much prior announcement, the film quietly began streaming on Amazon Prime Video from May 31, 2025, allowing audiences to experience its grand storytelling from the comfort of their homes. Chandrahasa's fascinating story 'Veera Chandrahasa' tells the fascinating and inspiring story of a boy named Chandrahasa. Abandoned in the forest as an infant, he is found by Kulinda, a nobleman from Kuntala, who raises the child with love and care. Chandrahasa, named for his radiant smile, grows up to be a virtuous and kind-hearted young man. However, his journey is far from easy — dark forces constantly scheme against him, plotting his downfall. Yet, with unwavering faith and the power of virtue, Chandrahasa overcomes every obstacle, each time turning his enemies' schemes against them. The film beautifully portrays his life as one shaped by divine protection, making it not just a story of survival, but a moving tribute to resilience, virtue, and destiny. A peek into the making of KGF starring Yash in the lead Talented Cast The film features a talented ensemble led by Shithil Shetty in the title role, with strong performances by Nagashree G S, Prasanna Shettigar Mandarti, and Uday Kadabaal. The supporting cast includes Ravindra Devadiga, Nagaraj Servegar, Gunashree M Nayak, Shridhar Kasarkodu, Shwetha Arehole, and Prajwal Kinnal. Our verdict We gave the movie a rating of 3 stars out of 5 and our official review read, 'The film feels as though you are watching a Yakshagana play that has added the best cinematic touch with vibrant colours and camera. In Yakshagana, besides Chande, Maddale, costumes, the kunitha is also equally important. One of the highlights of Yakshagana, the Kunitha (Dance of Yakshagana), has taken a backseat in the film. Also, the film is strictly for those who want to know more about the world of Yakshagana. If the art form is not of your interest, the film may evoke mixed feelings.'
