Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap recently opened up about actor Ananya Pandey, which he was called his favorite “Napo Baby”. Recalling Siddhanta Chaturvedi’s viral “Struggle” comment, Kashyap praised Pandey’s development and evolving options made in his career.
In a conversation the juggernautKashyap said, “I think he has understood it,” he said, referring to a change in his attitude to acting. Kashyap recalled Siddhanta Chaturvedi’s viral comment – “Our struggle end where you begin” – from a previous interview, given that Ananya took it personally. “It really hit him, and I think it changed something inside him,” he saw.
Kashyap pointed to his performance in ‘Ctrl’, ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’, and ‘Gehraiyan’ as an example of his artistic development. She said, “She is doing very good stuff. She is taking a risk, and she is quite mature. She uses,” she said.
The filmmaker also addressed a major conversation around Nepotism, offering a layered scene. “More than children, I think the problem is that parents are not allowing them to make their choice. For safety, kicks in the instinct of the parents,” he said.
Ananya, also, reflects the first beliefs that follow star kids. Responding to the bias of the industry due to his father Chunky Pandey, he said, “Just because I am the daughter of an actor, I am not going to say for an opportunity. My father is not in a religion film, he is never on ‘Kofi with Karan’. It is not as easy as people think.”
Siddhant’s earlier comments continue in this discourse. He said, “Everyone has their own struggles. The only difference is where our dreams are fulfilled, their struggle begins,” he said, capturing the privileges of privilege and pressure within the industry.
Currently, Ananya Pandey is shooting for Karthik Aryan’s co-confession ‘Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri’, released in 2026. Kashyap, meanwhile, is prepared for the Telugu film ‘Dacoite’, which is characterized by Ediva Sesh and Mrinal Thakur, which is expected to hit in December 2025.
