"Cinema was created for the crime genre. All great cinemas are the crime genre. Look at the list of top 100 films, the top 10 would be a crime. It's a very cinematic genre," Kashyap told PTI. "I have been fascinated with the genre since childhood. I have grown up reading Manohar Kahaniya. I read everything of Ved Prakash Sharma, Surender Mohan Pathak inside out by the time I was 14. I see crime as a fun genre. I love the small town pulpiness of it," he added.
