Acclaimed script-writer and director Anurag Kashyap, who also blogs at Passion for Cinema, in a two-part series writes on the making of that cult Mumbai gangland movie “Satya”. Kashyap, along with Kallu Mama Saurabh Shukla, also scripted the movie, which was directed by Ram Gopal Varma.

When we were thinking how do we name our characters..Ramu called his boy to make coffee for us..he said “Bhiku teen coffee”..and i said nice name..Satya was named after a woman called Satya..Someone Ramu knew back in college days..He just wanted her to know that he still rememberred her..Ramu was an engineering student..in some naxalite area in Andhra..then, when ever he got into trouble, he would strike a brucelee pose and make a eeyah sound to defend or protect himself..atleast thats what he told me..slowly all characters fell into place..

Part 1 here and Part 2 here. Must read for all Kashyap fans.
