More than a decade and over a dozen films later, Anurag Kashyap's filmmaking process remains the same -- start a movie "blindly" and find it's voice along the way being unsure of the outcome.

Kashyap says he has always tried to find his films in the process.

"I know a lot of filmmaker friends of mine who have figured their film out before they go to shoot. Shooting is execution for them. For me, shooting is the process of finding my film, my voice, articulating what I am trying to say," Kashyap told PTI.

The director, who has helmed several award winning features like "Gangs of Wasseypur" series, "Gulaal", "Dev D" says he always get his films "only at the end of it."
"The idea is to get all the shots right. Every time, they throw a ball at you, you have to hit. Like 'we don't have budget', you tackle it. 'We can't shoot at a particular location', you hit it, or 'an actor is not available' you hit it again. You have to play every ball thrown at you."
