Anurag Kashyap took to X at around midnight on Friday to share a strong-worded message saying that he has only relocated cities and not left filmmaking. He jokingly also said that he is busier than Shah Rukh Khan and that five of his films will be releasing this year.

Anurag wrote, “I have relocated cities. i have not left filmmaking. For all the people who think I am frustrated and gone. I am here and I am busier than Shah Rukh Khan (I have to be, I don’t make as much money) I don’t have dates until 2028.”

Giving details on his next films, he added, “I have five directorial hopefully coming out this year or may be three now and two early next year. I have the longest IMDB and I am so employed that I say no to 3 projects a day.”

In an earlier interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the director had revealed that he is relocating to South India. “Right from the beginning, before the film starts, it becomes about how to sell it. So, the joy of filmmaking is sucked out. That’s why I want to move out of Mumbai next year. I am going to the South. I want to go where there is stimulation. Otherwise, I will die as an old man. I am so disappointed and disgusted by my own industry. I am disgusted by the mindset,” he said.

His last directorial, Kennedy has been continuously delayed for release. Speaking to CE recently, he had said that the film is stuck with the studio that has backed it. “They have actually gone bankrupt and don’t have the money to release the film. We are trying to figure out other avenues.”
