Book Description
Foreword

Before Gangs of Wasseypur I had never worked on a B film that was conceived by someone else. It was in May 2009 that I met Sachin Ladia and Akhilesh Jaiswal. The Skeleton Woman, a play co-written by Kalki which I produced, was being performed at Prithvi Theatre. Rucha Pathak and Vikas Bahl from UTV and Irrfan Khan were with me. I had stepped out for a smoke when Sachin walked up to me and asked me to read the treatment. It was about ten pages long. I started reading it and liked it. Zeishan's elaboration of the treatment would not have caught my attention had he not begun to tell me stories from the past and present of Wasseypur. Endless stories, tales and legends.

After Satya and Black Friday I had decided never to make a gangster film again. But then I had not yet seen Subramaniapuram and Paruthiveeran. Watching these movies, in this new language of cinema from Chennai, I wanted to go to my roots, explore them. Then I found Wasseypur and its stories. I began to think of this as a definitive gangster movie, in the sense that it explores the whole story of the mafia.
