In response to his post, Anurag Kashyap's friend, director Vikramaditya Motwane said, "So grateful that you took that train"

Director Anurag Kashyap is one of the most popular filmmakers in India and for good reason. The director, who also turned producer and actor over the years, has created a body of work that is unique and unparalleled. Now, Anurag Kashyap has shared a social media post looking back at his journey given that it has been 30 years since he arrived in Mumbai to work in the film industry. To mark the special occasion, Anurag Kashyap shared a picture of the express train Punjab Mail -- the train in which he travelled to Dadar in 1993. In the caption, he wrote, “3rd June 1993, I landed at Dadar station. It was raining. I didn't know that monsoons in Bombay were that long.”

Recounting his journey, Anurag Kashyap added, “I remember taking my first local train from Dadar to Andheri to meet a friend, who came from Delhi before me. He who became the inspiration for Imtiaz Ali's most special film Rockstar. I got courage from both Jaggu and Imti to come to Mumbai but then, they got into @sxcbom to do Mass Com and I just have been figuring ever since. So grateful to this city for everything and all the friends and memories that it has given me. #karmbhoomi.”

In response to his post, Anurag Kashyap's friend and frequent collaborator, director Vikramaditya Motwane said, “So grateful that you took that train.”
