The pandemic was tough and challenging for all of us and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is no exception. During and after the initial lockdown, the filmmaker was under a lot of stress and he even suffered a heart attack in 2021. In a recent media interaction, Anurag talked about the things which were bothering him and caused him to have a heart attack.

He told Mashable India, "When someone doesn’t have anything to do, they make sequels or a remake. I’ve written a lot, but waiting for opportunities. From 2019—I started shooting, and then there was the pandemic and it stopped. And then pandemic finished. Then there was Dobaaraa, and then I had a heart attack. Then I made a film, where people said you’re addressing things that you aren’t supposed to.”

Talking about the heart attack, the filmmaker said, "Well, it happened, there was a lot of stress. Ho gaya. I wanted to work, but nothing was happening. Everyone liked my work but was scared of my Twitter avatar. I had recovered my Twitter account again.”
