Director Anurag Kashyap's Ugly is one of his most-awaited films. The film was screened in the Directors' Fortnight section at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. It is produced by Phantom Films (Vikas Bahl, Vikramaditya Motwane, Madhu Mantena) and Dar Motion Pictures Ltd. (Arun Rangachari & Shahnaab Alam).
The psychological thriller cum emotional drama, Ugly, directed by Anurag Kashyap, was awaited since long. However, the film’s trailer finally came out, and it comes across as a dark and intense film, which is also written by Anurag.
Talented director and producer Ekta Kapoor, who is buried with Sanjay Gupta's Shootout at Wadala, seems to be in no risk taking mode as the release date of the film has been pushed forward to next year due to Aamir Khan's Talaash this year.
