Anurag Kashyap had to halt his adaptation of Suketu Mehta’s ‘Maximum City’ after a streaming giant backed out following the controversy surrounding the web series ‘Tandav’. Kashyap called it his best work and believed the backing out was a form of “invisible censorship”. He revealed that the project’s shelving led him into depression and he suffered two heart attacks. He expressed disappointment that streaming was supposed to be empowering but became a tool instead.
