Talking about the misunderstanding and problems between him and Pankaj Jha, the director said that he does not remember anything. Anurag said, “The last thing I remember is that he had joined the Osho Ashram and was into painting, not acting”. Pointing to the casting of Pankaj Tripathi in the role earlier given to Jha, he said, ‘I wanted to cast him for a role in ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, but he disappeared, he was busy and my budget was very low and I had to cast someone.’ He also said that maybe he is upset because Pankaj Tripathi became famous after playing that role.
