I was re-watching Anurag Kashyap’s No Smoking (2007) last night and found a blink-and-miss cameo of the Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota director, Vasan Bala. Bala has assisted Kashyap on films like Dev.D (2009), Gulaal (2009), Bombay Velvet (2015) and Raman Raghav 2.0 (2016) besides co-writing the last two and also appeared in cameos in these movies. Anurag Kashyap’s films always have interesting cameos by filmmakers, music directors, singers, co-producers, assistant directors and casting directors (more on that in a separate post). Here’s a list of cameo appearances by Bala:
No Smoking (2007) – The man at the launch party of Alex’s cigars
Aamir (2008) – The man outside the airport who tells Aamir to pick up the call
Dev.D (2009) – The trumpeter in the song Emosanal Attyachaar
Gulaal (2009) – The paan seller
Gangs of Wasseypur (2012) – Singer at the jail (Bhoos Ke Dher Mein)
Ugly (2014) – Complainer outside the police station
Bombay Velvet (2015) – Khambatta’s man who asks for chocolate from Santa 'Clock'
