In a private interaction with director Anurag Kashyap, Quentin Tarantino, one of America’s most influential directors, has candidly admitted that he was inspired by an Indian film while making his famous Kill Bill (2003-2004).
Everyone remembers the animation-action sequence used to depict some gruesome scenes in the movie. This style, Japanese Manga animation, was first used it in 2001 by Kamal Haasan. He used it in the Tamil movie ‘Aalavandhan’ (Abhay in Hindi) to portray violence.
