Anurag Kashyap
"Sacred Games" co-director Anurag Kashyap today said there was pressure to deliver as they wanted the show, Netflix's first Original series from India, to match up to the international standards.
The filmmaker, co-directed the series with Vikramaditya Motwane, based on Vikram Chandara's over 900 page book of the same name. Kashyap directed the portions featuring Nawazuddin Siddiqui as gangster Ganesh Gaitonde, while Motwane helmed Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan's scenes. "My daily struggle was to complete the work which I was given. Then the struggle which I had was to collect whatever has been done because after the shoot, I left for `Manmarziyan'. Vikram sat with the team and put together the show. Post that, we watched, but still we didn't know what to keep and what to cut.
