"When I was introduced to him he hugged me and went gaga. He (Kashyap) said, 'Yaar, you are such a great actor. You should wait, I will write something for you. Do your next with me'," Ayyub recalled. The actor, who has established himself as one of the most formidable performers with roles in projects
such as 'Raanjhanaa', 'Article 15', 'Raees', 'Tandav' and 'Scoop', said Kashyap's words had made his day."I was like now Anurag Kashyap is going to write something tabswire for me. He was the guy who inspired people like us to come to Mumbai. I have made it. This was 13 years ago and now we are sitting here," he joked. Kashyap said he has to write something that suits Ayyub's calibre. "And this guy is also
different. When you say this to an actor, that person will keep reminding you. He is not like that. He has self respect, he won't pester you, which, sometimes, is important," the director said. "And if I do a film with him, he will definitely not play an idealistic or moralistic guy in that," he added. 'Haddi', a revenge drama led by Nawazuddin Siddiqui's transgender character, features Ayyub as his love interest and Kashyap as the main antagonist.
