Shool turns 25: Celebrating a classic tale of grit and corruption
Celebrating 25 years of 'Shool', the powerful 1999 film that spotlighted corruption and grit, starring Manoj Bajpayee and Raveena Tandon.
The gang war drama based in Wasseypur in Dhanbad district, Jharkhand, featured Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Piyush Mishra and Richa Chadha.
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap says when Gangs Of Wasseypur released on this day seven years ago, his life got “ruined”.
June 22, 2012 was when the first installment of the two-part Gangs of Wasseypur released. It is a cult film that revolves around a gangster who clashes with a ruthless, coal-mining kingpin.
“Seven years back is exactly when my life got ruined. Since then all everyone wants me to do is the same thing over and over again. Whereas I have only been unsuccessfully trying to get away from that expectation. Anyways hope that Saadhe Saati is over by the end of 2019,” Kashyap tweeted on Saturday.
