Multi-talented filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who has influenced the Bollywood with noir cinema, needs no introduction. He is arguably one of the finest filmmakers we have in Indian cinema. The 46-year-old can write, direct, produce and act in films; he is nothing less than a film institute in himself. The Gangs of Wasseypur director turned a year older today on September 10, 2018 and wishes have been pouring in for the filmmaker. Earlier in the day, Sanju fame Vicky Kaushal took to the micro-blogging site to wish his favourite director 'Happy Birthday'. Vicky wrote on Twitter, "Happy Birthday @anuragkashyap72 Thank You for always being there as a mentor, a critic and a true and genuine friend. Love ❤️ ps: btw why does it look like we were holding hands when this was clicked!"

Alongside a picture with the actor cum director, Vicky wrote on Instagram, "If it wasn’t for this beautiful man, I probably wouldn’t be where I am today. You are one of the most accessible, one of the most genuine persons around. Feel so happy and proud when people call me your ‘blue haired boy’. Thank You for being there, thank you for being YOU! On this special day, sending you many such warm hugs and good wishes. Can’t wait to see you in Toronto. Happy Birthday @anuragkashyap10 Happy Birthday ‘chachaji’! Love You ❤️ Shakal aadhi dikh rahi hai par emotion poora hai. Thanks @khamkhaphotoartist for capturing this!

Sharing a picture on the photo-sharing with the director from the sets of her upcoming film Manmarziyaan, Taapse Pannu too wrote, "To the man who, in his own unique way ‘farted’ beneath Rumi’s wings to make her fly and be who she is ! This year there is a super special birthday gift coming up soon ( that’s apart from the fact that we all r soon landing in Toronto to meet u , dressed as fancy gift package ) it’s finally gonna be the birth of @anuragkashyap10 version 2.0! Now prepare a good return gift for us 😁 Happy Birthday penguin ! 📷: @khamkhaphotoartist"

We wish the talented filmmaker a very Happy birthday.

On the professional front, Kashyap is all set to enthrall his fans with his love triangle Manmarziyaan, which is slated to release on September 14, 2018. The multi-starrer film features Abhishek Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal in lead roles. It's just 4 days to go for Manmarziyaan and we can't wait to see the film.
