The past few days have been cumbersome for Anurag Kashyap who underwent angioplasty over the weekend. It is heard that the filmmaker, who had been working on the post-production of his next, Dobaaraa from home, decided to seek medical attention after he suffered mild chest pain.

A source reveals, “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.”

Kashyap underwent the procedure at an Andheri hospital and has been advised a week’s rest before he can resume work. On his plate is the sci-fi thriller, led by Taapsee Pannu and Pavail Gulati. The director had wrapped up its shoot in late March.   

When mid-day reached out to Kashyap’s spokesperson, he confirmed the news, stating, “Yes, he underwent an angioplasty. He is now recuperating.”
