Director Anurag Kashyap is all praises for friend and filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane’s latest series Black Warrant, which he co-created with Satyanshu Singh.
Anurag took to Instagram on Sunday to praise everyone who worked on the Netflix series, including directors Ambiecka Pandit, Rohin Raveendran Nair and Arkesh Ajay and cinematographer Saumyananda Sahi. He shared a poster of the series and wrote in the caption, “The forever re-inventive and relentless @motwayne along with @cinema_is_forever and a talented team of directors @ambiecka @rohinraveendrannair @arkeshajay has created his best work till date . It’s fresh, it’s binge worthy, it redefines the prison genre and hits you hard. Superb cinematography by @somosahi , on the point BGM by @ajayjayanthi and aided by all-round top notch performances by @itsrahulbhat @zahankapoor @paramvircheema07 @anurag.thakurrr @sidhant #totaroychowdhury and the rest pf the superb cast . 2025 has begun on a high note with BLACK WARRANT.”
Anurag, however, went on to diss at streaming platforms. “Also an example of how the best shows and films are acquired by the streaming platform and not created by them. An honest and hard peak into life in Indian prisons set in 1980-90. Congratulations team and congratulations @applausesocial @sameern #deepaksaigal.”
In a recent interview, Anurag had expressed his vexation with the film industry. “Now it is difficult for me to go out and experiment as it comes at a cost, which makes my producers think about profit and margins. 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,” he had said.
Black Warrant stars Zahan Kapoor, Rahul Bhat, Sidhant Gupta, Anurag Thakur and Paramvir Singh Cheema.
