$\'Gangs of Wasseypur\' is not for kids: Director$

Anurag Kashyap is not worried about getting an \'A\' (adult) certificate for his film \'Gangs of Wasseypur\'.

Kashyap had accompanied his team to the festival and said that the best compliment he got was that his film would be liked by all.

"We got a lot of compliments but the best one was that everyone in the world will understand the film and everyone will like to watch it," he said.

Even though the content of the film is for adults, Kashyap is not insecure about losing audience. "All films are not for kids. This film is not at all for children. Adult audiences will come to watch it for sure," he added.

The music of the film has been composed by Sneha Khanwalker.

"We only had one thing in mind that the music should be like the film. People like the songs, so we have done the right thing. After a longtime 'desi' songs have come and that's why people are liking it," he said.
