Welcome to Cyrus Says!
Before Monica O My Darling hit Netflix, before Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota became a TIFF cult film, and before Vicky Kaushal became VICKY KAUSHAL — there was Vasan Bala, shooting indie films on the streets of Mumbai with zero budget and maximum madness.
In this episode of Cyrus Says, filmmaker Vasan Bala dives deep into his chaotic journey — from assisting Anurag Kashyap on Dev.D and Gangs of Wasseypur, to directing Peddlers (which made it to Cannes!), discovering Vicky Kaushal in a short film, and sneaking easter eggs into every single project.
Highlights:
Vicky Kaushal’s early gigs
The vodka incident that almost ruined his career
The chaos of Peddlers and casting strangers
His undying love for pulp and genre cinema
Acting cameos, CBFC cuts, and future dreams
