Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui praised filmmaker Anurag Kashyap for his genius in creating the cult classic 'Gangs of Wasseypur', reflecting on his initial skepticism about the film during its early cut, which he found unimpressive. It wasn't until he viewed the final edit at the Cannes Film Festival that he appreciated Kashyap's artistry. As the film is re-released after 12 years, Siddiqui noted its significant impact on Indian cinema and his career, particularly his iconic role as Faisal Khan. Other cast members, like Jaideep Ahlawat, also celebrated the film's legacy, calling it a pivotal moment in their careers and expressing excitement for audiences experiencing the film in theaters for the first time. The movie chronicles the violent saga of a coal mafia over generations, showcasing the complexities of power and vengeance. Its re-release comes at a time when audiences are keen to revisit classic cinema, especially after the rise of streaming platforms.
