'For studio 'Gangs Of Wasseypur' is still flop, had to forfeit my fees': Anurag Kashyap backs Richa Chadha's claims

Anurag Kashyap's 2012 release 'Gangs Of Wasseypur' helped various actors' careers. Be it Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Richa Chadha, Manoj Bajpayee, Pankaj Tripathi, or others among the crowd, every actor was noticed. However, the cast and crew were not paid royalty. In fact, they received a similar amount, or lesser, confirmed Richa Chadha and Anurag Kashyap.

While Richa had revealed the same in an interview, Anurag backed her claims by tweeting that not only is the actress right in her claims, but he had to forfeit his own salary. More so, Anurag added that the studio still considers the iconic movie a flop.

Kashyap tweeted, "She is right. Most actors and crew got paid similar amounts or less and I had to forfeit my entire fees to make GOW. Funny thing is we still own 50%IPR on GOW and we have never seen a penny on it or know about it’s income. For the studio it’s still a flop."
