Anurag Kashyap had said this

Earlier, while talking to Hollywood Reporter India, Anurag had revealed that he is jealous of South cinema. He said, "I am jealous of them (South filmmakers). Because now it has become very difficult for me to experiment. Because now one has to pay a price for it, so my producers now have to think about profit. They say 'Where is my margin? I am losing money. I say if you don't want to make this film, then don't make it, but I can't do that. Because now from the beginning, even before the film starts, the question arises how will we sell it? So now the fun of filmmaking is over. That's why I want to leave here. I am leaving Mumbai next year itself."
