The actor-writer is undoubtedly elated with the response the flick has got from all quarters. Besides, after writing the story, if I told Anurag that I wanted to play Faisal Khan, it would have been like blackmailing," he says. I could not have played Sardar Khan or Faisal Khan. "As an actor, I felt that it was the only character I could do justice to. But why did he choose to play the role of Definite? While Quadri received much appreciation for his writing, he was also praised for playing Definite to perfection.

The film originally was nine hours long, which was later reduced to seven and eventually its present duration of five hours and twenty minutes. Later, a team of four writers - Anurag Kashyap, Zeishan Quadri, Akhilesh Jaiswal and Sachin Ladia - took six to eight months to complete the screenplay. After reading it, the first question that Anurag asked me was, "Is all this true?" I told him 85% of it was based on real incidents," he says. I took 24 hours and first gave him an eight-page concept. He liked the idea and told me to give it to him in writing. "When I met Anurag, I narrated to him the actual incidents which prompted me to write the story. He wrote the story of Gangs of Wasseypur in 35 days, which is based on real incidents, related to the coal mafia and gang wars, and then approached Anurag Kashyap, the director of the film. "I wanted to act, so I decided to write a film and act in it," he simply puts, while talking to HT City over the phone from Mumbai.Īfter undergoing his share of struggle to bag a role in a film, Quadri decided to write a film and then approach a director with it. Hailing from Wasseypur, Jharkhand, Quadri decided to take the path less travelled and picked up a pen to eventually become an actor. The actor who portrayed the character to perfection and won everyone's heart and appreciation is Zeishan Quadri (28), who is also the writer of the magnum opus.
