After Swara Bhasker¡¯s masturbation scene in Veere Di Wedding, Kaira Advani broke all the norms in Karan Johar¡¯s Lust Stories. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is supremely impressed by KJo¡¯s bold step and said, ¡° It is good to talk about things people don¡¯t want you to speak about.¡±
¡°The biggest disease we all suffer from is the unnecessary shame that is thrust upon us. We don¡¯t need to be ashamed of being yourself and what we seek, wanting pleasure and self-gratification,¡±
Kashyap told IANS at the green carpet of the IIFA Rocks on Friday evening. He says he always had something like Lust Stories in mind and was often judged. ¡°I really think that people need to empower themselves. I am very happy that conversations are happening,¡± he said.
Kashyap also praised filmmaker Karan Johar¡¯s short from Lust Stories starring Kiara Advani and Vicky Kaushal. In Lust Stories Kiara is seen pleasing herself.
¡°I particularly liked what Karan Johar did so unabashedly because he didn¡¯t hold back or tried being artistic or anything like that. He said ¡®this is my concern and I want to put it out there¡¯, and I love what he did".
Kashyap loves the digital platform and says he finds the format liberating. ¡°A thing like Lust Stories that everyone is talking about and liking it wouldn¡¯t have happened if there wasn¡¯t a format like that. We have so many ¡®thekedars¡¯ of morality who are standing there telling you what to do and what not to do.¡± The 45-year-old filmmaker is now looking forward to his upcoming ventures Sacred Games and Manmarziyaan.
