The Gangs of Wasseypur franchise, featuring Manoj Bajpayee and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, has secured its place as a cult classic in Indian cinema. Fans have long speculated about a potential third instalment, but director Anurag Kashyap has firmly squashed those hopes.
In a recent interview with The Lallantop, Kashyap made it clear that he has no plans to revisit the Wasseypur universe.
Anurag Kashyap Has NO Plans For Gangs Of Wasseypur 3
He expressed his desire to focus on diverse storytelling rather than expanding his earlier work. “Nahi aayegi. Mujhe koi Wasseypur universe nahi banana. Businessmen alag sochte hain. Har cheez ka universe bann raha hai na aaj kal. Mujhe kuch nahi banana. Mujhe apni bohot saari alag alag filme banani hain,” Kashyap said.
The acclaimed director elaborated further, stating that he would only consider making Wasseypur 3 under extreme circumstances. “Wasseypur 3 uss din banaunga jis din langda lula ho jaunga. Jab mere paas koi chaara nahi bachega koi kaam karne ka, main Wasseypur 3 announce karke bohot paise kamaunga taaki mera ilaaj ho sake,” he added.
This statement indicates Kashyap’s commitment to exploring new narratives rather than rehashing old successes.
