Anurag Kashyap has taken social media by storm with his latest Instagram post in which he has blasted people who lack talent but want to get launched by him. The filmmaker penned a note to the people wanting to meet him for the work and said that he is tired of 'mediocre s*it' and will charge money for a meeting. 

"I wasted a lot of time trying to help newcomers and mostly ended up with mediocre s*it. So Now onwards I don't want to waste my time with meeting random people who think they're creative geniuses. So I will now have rates. If someone wants to meet me for 10-15 minutes I will charge 1 lac, for half hour 2 lacs and for 1 hour 5 lacs. That's the rate. I am tired of wasting time meeting people. If you really think you can afford it, call me or stay the f*ck away. And all paid in advance ." he wrote followed by a folding hand emoji.
