The movies Gangs of Wasseypur (Parts 1 and 2) left a lasting impact on Indian cinema. Directed by Anurag Kashyap, these films delved into the raw reality of power, politics, and revenge within the coal mafia-controlled town of Wasseypur. For quite some time, fans have been anticipating whether there would ever be a third part to Gangs of Wasseypur, with many discussions and speculations online. Lately, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who portrayed the memorable character of Faizal Khan, revealed details about the possible third installment in the series. He stated, “Anurag won’t be making it, and I will not be part of the cast.

During an interview with Mid-Day, Nawazuddin Siddiqui clarified rumors about director Anurag Kashyap potentially creating a third installment of “Gangs of Wasseypur”. He confirmed that neither Anurag nor he will be involved in the production or acting for this film.

I can’t help but gush about this! People are constantly bringing up my favorite subject, Faizal Khan. They often share stories of similar proposals, some even dreaming of a movie entirely dedicated to him!

During a chat with The Lallantop, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap dismissed rumors about a possible third installment of Gangs of Wasseypur, explaining that he has no plans to develop the Wasseypur universe further.

The originator dispelled the gossips, clarifying that his intent as a director was to explore diverse narratives rather than sticking to one storyline. He pointed out that businesspeople often view things differently and that everything seems to be transforming into a universe these days, but he has no desire to conform to that popular trend.

Additionally, he playfully remarked that he might create Wasseypur 3 out of necessity, using humor to suggest it was his last resort. He joked about announcing the movie as a way to raise funds for his medical expenses.

The exceptional acting by stars such as Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Manoj Bajpayee, and Richa Chadha made Parts 1 and 2 incredibly successful due to their gripping narratives, deeply portrayed characters, and memorable lines.

Next up for Nawazuddin on the job side, you’ll find him in “Costao” on Zee5. This project is directed by Sejal Shah and is produced by Vinod Bhanushali.
