No Smoking is a 2007 Indian Hindi-language black comedy thriller film written and directed by Anurag Kashyap, and produced by Vishal Bhardwaj. The film stars John Abraham, Ayesha Takia, Paresh Rawal and Ranvir Shorey. The first Stephen King Hindi film adaptation, it follows K (Abraham), a wealthy, proud, chain smoking businessman, who agrees to quit smoking to save his marriage, and visits a rehabilitation centre to assuage his wife (Takia) and childhood friend (Shorey), only to be caught up in a labyrinthine plot by Baba Bangali (Rawal), the all-knowing man running the centre, who guarantees that he will make him quit.
Production
During the making of Satya (1998), its director Ram Gopal Varma pitched a story to its writer Anurag Kashyap, about a chain smoker's encounter with someone who despises smoking. It inspired Kashyap to come up with an idea, which he shared with Varma, who in his turn laughed and dismissed it. Varma later incorporated his own idea of the story as a short segment, No Smoking starring Saif Ali Khan, in his anthology film, Darna Mana Hai (2003).
In "Quitters, Inc.", after the chain-smoking protagonist Dick Morrison bumps into an old friend, their conversation leads Morrison to the titular facility in Manhattan. The story also features endless scrutiny, death threats and even a gas chamber. Both K and Morrison finds a patsy for the rehab at the end.
Kashyap began to approach actors through short messaging service; John Abraham replied back, because Deepa Mehta, the director of his Oscar-nominated Water (2005), for which Kashyap penned the dialogues, told him that he must work with Kashyap.
they passed on the project, terming it "too weird." After directing Omkara (2006), Vishal Bhardwaj approached Kashyap when he came back to India, wanting to make a film with him. Kashyap told him about No Smoking, and Bhardwaj agreed to work with him.
For the dual role of Anjali and Annie, "one a self-respecting woman, another opposite", Kashyap went to actresses he thought could do the role, but they refused as the role was not substantial enough. Ultimately, Ayesha Takia was cast. She was not comfortable with the love scenes and the outfits of her character Annie, though Kashyap refused to make any changes. Despite this, he maintained that she was an "actress" and a "face" too.
