Anurag Kashyap needs no guidance: Roshan Mathew
Malayalam cinema's rise as a daring and inventive industry has attracted admirers like Anurag Kashyap. Roshan Mathew, who has worked with Kashyap, believes the director doesn't need guidance but appreciates the collaborative environment. The industry's competitive spirit, driven by veterans and newcomers alike, elevates the standards and pushes everyone to deliver their best work.
In the last decade, the rise of
Malayalam cinema
as one of India's most daring and consistently inventive film industries has been hard to miss. From compelling storytelling to a relentless focus on craft, the industry has found admirers far beyond Kerala's borders — including celebrated filmmaker
Anurag Kashyap
.
Known for his gritty, unfiltered filmmaking, Kashyap has been vocal about his love for Malayalam cinema, even claiming in interviews that he's moving his base to the South and intends to make his mark in Malayalam films.
But does a filmmaker of his stature need guidance while navigating this close-knit and distinctive industry? Actor
Roshan Mathew
doesn't think so.Kashyap and
Roshan
have worked together in the past on a film called Choked- it was Roshan's first film in Hindi and it also featured
Saiyami Kher
.
'I don't think he requires any guidance from me,' Roshan chuckles, speaking in a recent conversation. ' Firstly, he's so good as an actor, like Saiyami and I, we keep discussing how good he is and he's so much fun to watch on screen be it Rifle Club or Maharaja,. And I've always known that he was a great actor. I just didn't expect him to take it and embrace it so wholeheartedly.'
Roshan also shared that he's very much in touch with Anurag as he spent a lot of time in Kerala recently.

They met during the shoot of Rifle Club while he was there. He was also present at the K.R. Narayan Film Institute for a while,they also watched Kennedy together and finally adding that company is what he can provide to Anurag.
Kashyap's affection for Malayalam cinema seems to stem from the same space that continues to inspire actors like Roshan — an environment charged with creativity, experimentation, and a healthy disregard for conventional filmmaking norms.
For Roshan, it's a particularly exhilarating time to be working in Malayalam films.
'It's incredible,' Roshan says. 'All of us — my colleagues, my friends — we're just grateful to be alive and working in this industry at this particular moment. There are some extremely talented filmmakers, incredibly skilled technicians, and a bunch of really brave producers who are willing to back risky ideas. Everyone's playing together in this space, and it keeps you on your toes.'
The actor believes that the collaborative and competitive spirit within the industry has pushed everyone to elevate their game. 'There are so many actors from my friend circle itself — people I've known for the past five or seven years — who I've seen grow into artists capable of delivering work I wouldn't have imagined when I first met them,' he observes.
And it isn't just the newcomers or the middle generation leading the charge. The veterans continue to set the tone for the industry. 'People like
Mammootty
and
Mohanlal
are leading from the front.
They're still choosing challenging roles, working with new directors, and inspiring the rest of us by showing us that there's no room to slack off,' Roshan says.
The rising stature of Malayalam cinema on the national stage, coupled with its growing global footprint, hasn't made it complacent. If anything, Roshan believes it's raised the bar for everyone involved. 'It pushes you to put your best work into everything because the standards are very, very high,' he insists.
As Malayalam cinema continues to script a new chapter in Indian filmmaking history, it seems there's space for both veterans and newcomers, insiders and outsiders, all united by a commitment to bold, boundary-pushing cinema.

Sharing her experience of Vivaan's graduation ceremony, she added, "For all the current uncertainty around foreign students in the US, I have to admit that I loved every minute of Vivaans graduation. It was celebratory, grandiose and very exhilarating. USC @presidentfolt you are a force of nature and it was amazing to get to know you better." Kabir Khan spotted with wife Mini Mathur at 'Sultan' screening Mini further congratulated the young minds on achieving another milestone in their journey.

So many bright minds in their Harry Potter robes going out into a world they will helm eventually. Congratulations @vivaankabir for not just getting a double major in Politics & Film but also for four years of your metamorphosis. Also to my favourite boys @arnavbulani @ahaanrao @ @ !!

Allow your calm confidence to steer you in work. Be open in relationships - you don't always have to bear it alone. Let that power melt into purpose. Cosmic Tip: Strength becomes power when shared gently. Lucky Number: 8 Lucky Colour: Dark Grey Aquarius Daily Horoscope Today, June 07, 2025 Going about a simple task will set you free emotionally.

At work, focusing on one task at a time will often win over multitasking. Emotionally, offer yourself the gift of space without isolation. Peace won't come through big changes today. Downsizing, going through little changes with great care, is what counts. Cosmic Tip: Find calm in the simple moments. Lucky Number: 6 Lucky Colour: Soft Blue Pisces Daily Horoscope Today, June 07, 2025 You create new momentum with every choice you make. Every slow step moves your life ahead.

Fortnite set for star-studded collabs in June: One-Punch Man, Squid Game, Superman & more
Image via Epic Games Fortnite's Chapter 6, Season 3 is shaping up to be a superhero-packed affair, with Epic Games lining up a string of high-profile collaborations this June. Popular leakers have hinted at crossovers with One-Punch Man, Squid Game, and DC's Superman and Robin, sparking excitement and debate among fans. Hype builds as major crossovers leak Reliable Fortnite leaker HYPEX revealed on X that new collaborations will roll out this month, including anime hit One-Punch Man, the globally successful Squid Game, and new DC Universe content. Notably, Superman will return with a new look modeled after actor David Corenswet, ahead of James Gunn's upcoming film. Robin (reportedly the Tim Drake version) is also set to make his Fortnite debut. According to insiders, the Squid Game crossover will include both skins and a UEFN (Unreal Editor for Fortnite) experience. While the Saitama skin from One-Punch Man has been confirmed, players are still hoping for more characters from the anime, such as Genos or Tatsumaki. Leaks suggest that Chapter 6 Season 3 will focus heavily on superhero content. While original Epic Games skins will feature, the spotlight is on DC heroes. Corenswet's Superman skin, along with Krypto the Superdog, is expected to headline the Battle Pass. This follows a teaser campaign that included the phrase 'S-Tier,' prompting speculation among fans about a top-tier roster of collabs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Kardiolog: Bukfett efter 50?

The version in question is believed to be Tim Drake, though this has yet to be officially confirmed. While many fans expressed enthusiasm, some voiced concerns about 'collab fatigue.' Social media users debated whether Fortnite's ever-expanding crossover list is hurting its creative originality. Still, others praised Epic for keeping the game fresh and relevant through new partnerships. The Squid Game collab seems timed to coincide with the series' Season 2 release, while the Superman and Robin skins align with upcoming DC projects. Meanwhile, Street Fighter fans may have to wait until next month, according to other community leakers.

The Battle Pass is expected to feature a mix of original superhero-themed skins and big-name collabs like Superman, Robin, Saitama, and Squid Game characters. Following a Star Wars season, Epic seems focused on winning fans back with high-profile crossovers. More surprises may follow post-launch, with Street Fighter content reportedly arriving in July and additional DC characters potentially in the pipeline. All eyes are now on Epic Games as Fortnite gears up for what could be one of its biggest seasons yet.
