Pankaj Jha in 'Gangs of Wasseypur'
There were some talks that Pankaj Jha was removed and Pankaj Tripathi was cast. Now the actor has taken a dig at Anurag Kashyap while talking about this. He spoke in a podcast with Digital Commentary. Pankaj Jha was asked whether replacing him from 'Gangs of Wasseypur' was a part of politics. And if he had got work in this film, would his career graph have been different?
Pankaj Jha spoke on not getting 'Gangs of Wasseypur'
In response to this question, the actor said, 'I have nothing to do with the politics that happens behind my back. The person who does this wins only when it harms me. People who do politics behind someone's back are usually cowards, right? Otherwise, they would have come forward and stood up.'
Pankaj Jha took a dig at Anurag Kashyap
Pankaj Jha has worked with Anurag Kashyap in the films 'Gulaal' and 'Black Friday'. When asked how the 'Gangs of Wasseypur' incident affected his relationship with the filmmaker, he described himself as an 'actor turned director'. He also called Anurag a 'coward' and 'weak'.
What did Pankaj Jha say about Anurag Kashyap?
About Anurag Kashyap, the actor said, 'When films like Satya and Gulaal can make actors, then they can also make directors. But there are so many timid and spineless people here that they are unable to speak their mind. However, later I came to know that the director himself was also in a bad condition. He himself was not getting any work and he was working on 36 different projects.'
