Director Anurag Kashyap has undergone angioplasty after he suffered mild pain in the chest last week. The 48-year-old filmmaker is currently recovering well at home. A source close to Kashyap told Mid Day, “Late last week, Anurag complained of discomfort and decided to get it checked at the earliest. An angiography revealed a few blockages in his heart. He was immediately admitted for surgery”.
The surgery was performed in an Andheri hospital in Mumbai.
Confirming the news to Indian Express, Kashyap‘s spokesperson said “Yes, he underwent an angioplasty. He is now recuperating. Thank you for your concern”.
The director finished shooting his upcoming sci-fi thriller Dobaaraa starring Taapsee Pannu in March this year and was working on his next film’s post-production from his home in Mumbai. He was last seen sharing screen space with Anil Kapoor in Vikramaditya Motwane’s AK vs AK, which released on Netflix last year. Kashyap was also the executive producer and the dialogue writer of this film.
