Anurag Kahsyap, who is known for directing movies like 'Gangs of Wasseypur', 'Lust Stories', 'Manmarziyaan', 'Masaan' and many more, doesn't want to work with stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. It is true and the director himself revealed it during his latest interview with Puja Talwar. While Shah Rukh Khan is ruling the box office with his 'Jawan', Anurag expressed his reservations against working the megastar saying, 'If you don’t cater to their fanbase while working with a star, they will cancel you. And, my film did get cancelled because I was making my own movie. I am not catering to anybody’s friends or fanbase. There’s no such practice in other countries. So, there you have more freedom and actors also play around. We are driven by hero worship. Stars will remain stars. OTT has equalised the game by throwing OTT stars. Pankaj Tripathi can lead a film. Nawazuddin can lead. Those things have happened.' Citing the failure of Salman Khan starrer 'Tubellight', Anurag insisted that you can't 'experiment' with big stars. He added, 'Even when they are experimenting or playing around, they think a lot because if their fanbases get upset, they react very strongly. They go after everyone. After 'Tubelight', Salman Khan fans went after director Kabir Khan. Director ko bhi gaali dete hain. I have suffered from it. I get very scared.' For more news and updates, stay tuned to ETimes.
