When Kashyap was asked what had happened he said that there was certainly something that caused the rift between them both, though he has forgotten what it exactly was. He says that a smaller man does have a big ego, but it was Amitabh Bachchan’s personality that went out to praise the ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ film. Anurag says that though everyone had told him to reply Amitabh then, he hadn’t done so and didn’t feel any reason to do this as well.

Then one day he felt that it was high time that the issues got resolved and Amitabh himself had given him the chance. So, Anurag took two pegs and replied the megastar asking if they could meet. Amitabh said that he could come whenever he pleased and this time the Amitabh Bachchan fan came out from within him.
