Anurag Kashyap Says Zeishan Quadri Reminds Him Of His Younger Version

Anurag Kashyap, who gave writer Zeishan Quadri a break with Gangs Of Wasseypur, is teaming up with the writer yet again for a third film in the Wasseypur series and the filmmaker is full of praises for his protégé.

Talking about Quadri, who makes his directorial debut with Meeruthiya Gangsters, Kashyap said, "I saw a reflection of myself in Zeishan, the zeal and the passion I had in my early days is now what I see in him. When you make any movie you don't cross the imaginary line till you don't know that it exists. I have noticed that Zeishan is someone who likes to learn while making any films; he keeps reinventing and discovering it. In spite of not having any cinematic education, Zeishan comes with lots of courage in him; he has this incredible drive in him which is actually four times more than me that makes him an extremely talented filmmaker."

On his part, an overwhelmed Quadri said, "I am completely overwhelmed, it feels great when your mentor appreciates your work and chooses to become the presenter of your directorial debut film. What I am today is part of Anurag Sir's remarkable guidance and encouragement."
