Abhinav Kashyap's next to be produced by brother Anurag

After the debacle of 'Besharam' Abhinav has been struggling to find proper backing

Mumbai: After films that had actors like Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, it was hard to believe that director Abhinav Kashyap would be in a fix after the debacle of his last film, ‘Besharam’. But rumour has it that his brother Anurag Kashyap has decided to produce his next film, reported Absolute India.

The script is in its final stages. “ Even the fact that Ranbir played the lead could not salvage Besharam as the audiences and critics alike gave it a huge thumbs down. Now, the fact that Rishi Kapoor has publicly apologised for being a part of Besharam, along with wife Neetu and son Ranbir, has obviously made matters worse for Abhinav. Rishi also went on to publicly say that he thought Abhinav was overconfident as he was riding high on the success of his debut film Dabangg."

"When Abhinav realised that there were no takers for his film, Anurag’s production house Phantom Films stepped into the picture. Anurag and Abhinav, though come from completely different sensibilities, appreciate the kind of cinema each does. Anurag thinks that Abhinav is being written off too soon and hence, stepped into the picture in the role of a producer,” a source was quoted saying.

The film ‘Besharam’ was said to initially go on floor under the productions of Viacom 18, but they pulled out after Abhinav refused to make changes in his script. The film was then finally produced by Movie Temple Production.

Abhinav has denied the rumours.
