A poster of Anurag Kashyap’s new film Ugly was floating on the net. But Kashyap confirmed on twitter that it’s indeed the official first poster. Have a look.
It’s like a minimal poster – a kid and a bunch of men. All in dark. Looks impressive.
The film will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in Directors’ Fortnight section. It stars Rahul Bhatt, Tejaswini Kolhapure, Ronit Roy, Girish Kulkarni and Siddhant Kapoor.
So what’s Ugly about?
It seems Kashyap is not willing to divulge any details yet. But in this interview to DearCinema he says that it’s a thriller, a simple kidnap drama but it actually deals with lots of things. It deals with relationships, our patriarchal system, how men look at women, domestic violence. It’s a very personal drama in the shape of a thriller.

Also Alia Bhatt in a cameo, playing Kohlapure’s childhood!!!
Any bets on Ronit Roy playing the abusive husband/father?
Don’t think he’s playing an abusive character this time.. too much ho jayega!
AK seems to be obsessed with Cannes and other film festivals. Viewers be damned.
Since when are ‘viewers’ are a homogenous entity?
I think it could be on rape .. maybe on the real case
@Ken Jones Every film festival’s job is to show the viewers a good movie.So it is always about viewers .Festivals are not some alien kind of things which are not meant for us.And awards in festivals are just for appreciating good work. So don’t say that any movie is for festivals and not for viewers.They get screened in the festivals to find viewers only.
