In his post, Kashyap said he has “wasted a lot of time” trying to help newcomers who think “they are creative geniuses.”
In his post, he wrote: “I wasted a lot of time trying to help newcomers and mostly ended up with mediocre shit. So from now on I don’t want to waste my time meeting random people who think they’re creative geniuses. So now I’ll have fees.”
‘ $1 lakh for 10-15 minutes
The filmmaker said he would charge $1 lakh for 10 to 15 minutes of your time, while newcomers will have to pay $5 lakh for a one-hour meeting.
In strong words, Kashyap said that only those who can afford it should call him.
“If someone wants to meet me for 10-15 minutes, I will charge them 1 lac, for half an hour 2 lacs and for 1 hour 5 lacs. That’s the rate. I’m tired of wasting time meeting people. If you really think you can afford it” , call me or stay away. And all paid in advance (clasped hands emoji),” she said.
In his caption, the filmmaker shared how tired he is of meeting people who look for shortcuts.
“And I mean it. Don’t text me, DM me, or call me. Pay and you’ll have time. I’m not a charity and I’m tired of people looking for shortcuts,” he said in a post.
Internet users were quick to react to his publication.
“Honestly, Anuraag… I often feel the same way!” said filmmaker Shekhar Kapur.
One social media user wrote that he “understands the sentiment” will create a gap between industry professionals and new generation aspirants.
“I understand the sentiment, but this essentially adds to the policing of an industry that is already considered very elitist and privileged. And the greater the gap that is created between industry professionals and the aspiring new generations, the slower It will improve the industry.” the user said.
Actor Shahana Goswami commented: “But Babu, aren’t people who can pay for your time more likely to waste your time just as much, if not more…? I agree with the first part, but then maybe Don’t meet anyone… let fate do it. Do you accidentally meet your collaborators?
Kubbra Sait said: “Amen!!!!!!!! (fire emojis).”
