‘Will charge Rs 1 lakh for 10 mins…’: Anurag Kashyap lashes out at newcomers in ‘Don’t waste my time’ post

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, known for his offbeat movies, is putting a new spin on meetings. Tired of people wasting his time, Kashyap announced on social media that he will now charge for meetings! This is his way of saying that only serious inquiries need to apply.

“I wasted a lot of time trying to help newcomers and mostly ended up with mediocre sh*t. So Now onwards I don't want to waste my time with meeting random people who think they're creative geniuses. So I will now have rates. If someone wants to meet me for 10-15 minutes I will charge 1 lac, for half hour 2 lacs and for 1 hour 5 lacs. That's the rate. I am tired of wasting time meeting people. If you really think you can afford it, call me or stay the f**k away. And all paid in advance," Anurag said in a post on Instagram.

He wrote in the caption, “And I mean it Don’t text or dm or call me. Pay and you will get time. I am not a charity and I am tired of people looking for shortcuts.”
