Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap undergoes angioplasty, currently recuperating

By Murtuza Iqbal

Anurag Kashyap, who was busy working on the post-production of his movie Dobaaraa, recently underwent angioplasty. It is said that the filmmaker got mild chest pain and he decided to seek medical help for it.


A source told Mid-day, “Late last week, Anurag complained of discomfort and decided to get it checked at the earliest. An angiography revealed a few blockages in his heart. He was immediately admitted for surgery.”

Kashyap’s spokesperson confirmed the news and told the tabloid, “Yes, he underwent an angioplasty. He is now recuperating.”

Anurag wrapped up the shooting of Dobaaraa in March this year. The film stars Taapsee Pannu and Pavail Gulati in the lead roles.

This will be Anurag and Taapsee’s second film together; the two had earlier worked in Manmarziyaan. Well, Dobaaraa will also be Taapsee and Pavail’s second movie together. Both the actors were seen in last year’s release Thappad.

Dobaaraa is said to be a sci-fi thriller. The movie was announced in February this year with a very intriguing teaser. The release date of the film is not yet announced.

Sumukhi Suresh says Hoemonal proves women back bold comedy on their own terms

Sumukhi Suresh Unfiltered: Why women deserve bigger stages as she brings a riskier 'Hoemonal' to London

Highlights:

  • Comedian-creator Sumukhi Suresh frames Hoemonal as a string of lived moments shaped by “hormones” rather than neat narratives.
  • The show has grown in scope since its last London run: larger venues, fuller ambitions and a clearer audience focus on women.
  • Sumukhi discusses risk, crafting unlikeable protagonists (Pushpavalli), founding Motormouth Writers and the practical demands of touring big productions.

Sumukhi Suresh opened Hoemonal by naming the show’s true co-star: hormones. The title, she says, is not a punchline. It works more like a container for all the loose, messy pieces of life that she threads together onstage — the doubts, the desires, the shifts in confidence, and the everyday disorder most women recognise but rarely hear spoken aloud.

Speaking exclusively to Eastern Eye ahead of her London shows, Sumukhi Suresh is direct, thoughtful and quick with her humour, much like she is onstage.
