Filmmaker Aanand L. Rai prefers to collaborate with those who make work enjoyable. He says Anurag Kashyap, with whom he has joined hands for "Mukkabaaz", is one such director who is aggressive in his work. Rai was present at a press conference for "Mukkabaaz", his first venture with Kashyap. "Mukkabaaz" features Vineet Kumar Singh, Zoya Hussain, and Jimmy Shergill. Releasing on January 12, the film is directed by Kashyap and produced by Rai.
