Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap underwent an angioplasty recently and is now back home and recuperating, his spokesperson said on Thursday. The “Gangs of Wasseypur” director, who is doing fine, had the cardiac procedure after he complained of chest pain last week, added a source close to him. "Yes, he underwent an angioplasty. He is now recuperating. Thank you for your concern," his representative said in a brief statement.
The 48-year-old director has been advised rest for a couple of weeks, he added.
