Now Anurag Kashyap reacted to his statement. Anurag said in an interview to India Today that Pankaj Jha was not available for the shooting of the film. When he had to start shooting for ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, he went to Osho to do painting. The budget was tight, we could not wait for him. Anurag said, ‘I really don’t remember what happened. But it is certain that when we had to start shooting for ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, Pankaj Jha was not available. Our budget was very tight and we could not wait for him. In such a situation, we cast Pankaj Tripathi. Now Jha must be thinking that after 20 years he could become Pankaj Tripathi.
