Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is gearing up for the release of Mukkabaaz but he also has his eye on his next project.

“Now we are busy with the promotion and release of Mukkabaaz. From January 13, we will start focusing on Manmarziyan,” Kashyap said.

He is directing the Aanand L. Rai-produced Manmarziyan.

Kashyap was speaking at the Mukkabaaz press conference on Friday.

Dismissing rumours that Abhishek Bachchan is part of Manmarziyan, Kashyap said: “There are a lot of rumours about it. Some 5,000 actors name have cropped up. We will make official announcement after January 13.”

Talking about his wishes involving the cast he added: “There are many things that goes through our mind and heart but often things don’t happen as per our wish.”

“I also thought that Bombay Velvet will be successful,” he said.

Mukkabaaz, releasing in the UAE on January 11, comes with the tagline ‘Bahut Hua Samman’ (Enough of Respect).

“People in our country are offended very easily. It is a behavioural flaw in our country,” he said.

“I think we can’t grow because of it. A father always decides what his kid will be or what he will do when he grows up. And out of respect, the kid has to do it, without a question, killing his/her own dreams... That’s what the tagline is about,” Kashyap said.

Mukkabaaz stars Vineet Kumar Singh, Zoya Hussain, Ravi Kishan and Jimmy Shergill.
