The director also showed no qualms in mentioning that the music label can’t understand good music, and that they pay only for stars.

What did Anurag Kashyap say?

Anurag said, “The idea is not to cater to the market. If T-Series, Bhushan Kumar, is not buying it, then it is good music. T-Series doesn’t buy good music at a good price. They paid very less for Dev D, Gangs of Wasseypur or Gulaal.” He further mentioned that they don’t pay for the quality of music.
