Watch: Bollywood Calling again? Nagesh Kukunoor on The Hunt
In this exclusive episode of Inside Man, filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor opens up about his bold new series The Hunt, based on the aftermath of Rajiv Gandhi's assassination and the art of staging the greatest anticlimax in Indian political history.
He shares what drew him to this explosive material, how he works with actors, and reflects on his evolution from indie gems like Hyderabad Blues to the powerful Teen Deewarein, where he began to balance arthouse with mainstream storytelling.
We talk about his relentless pursuit to make a film in every genre — from the hard-hitting Lakshmi on sex trafficking, to the heartwarming Dhanak, his darkest unreleased film Maya, and then adapting to the OTT space with City of Dreams.
Despite the shift to digital, Kukunoor remains an independent filmmaker at heart — always mixing it up, always telling stories on his own terms.
