  • Kashyap invested heavily, handwriting over 900 pages of the script, calling the project's cancellation a "miscarriage."
  • The shelving led to a heart attack, health issues, and increased drinking, prompting him to go to rehab.
  • He described the shelved film as his "best work" and a victim of "invisible censorship" by Netflix.
  • Zoya Akhtar's offer to act in Made in Heaven helped him recover and get out of his room.
