‘Udaan’ Influenced By Anurag’s Life History  Anurag Kashyap |
‘Udaan’ is co-produced by Anurag Kashyap says that the movie is based on some elements of his past life. It brings into light a letter by Anurag addressed to his parents before leaving home in 1993 to chase his dreams.
Kashyap adds, “The theme of Udaan is universal and everyone can relate to it almost immediately. It's a phase when all of us are out to rebel against our parents, our society. In my case, I was extremely hurt and had written a seven-page letter to mom and dad saying that I am leaving home to pursue my dreams.”
A close friend also adds, “Anurag left his parents' house in Varanasi in 1993 and wrote a seven page letter in Hindi to his mother and father...”
"He wanted to come to Mumbai and work in the television industry. He was upset that his family and relatives used to call him useless and wayward.”
“They used to say that he would definitely go astray one day. That letter was earlier with his mother. Now, while promoting his film 'Udaan', Anurag found similarities between his life and the film, which deals with the subject of a teenage boy wanting to choose his career."
