"Three of our films; Peddlers, Gangs Of Wasseypur (I&II) at Cannes Film Festival. HUGE MOMENT OF PRIDE FOR US! Gangs Of Wasseypur (I & II) at Cannes Director's Fortnight," Mr Kashyap tweeted.
"Waiting at the Brussels airport in a silent zone, wanting to scream out loud, off to Copenhagen.. I am very happy...really Happy today...amongst all the madness.. GOW was a film that almost didn't get made," the director further wrote.
Mr Kashyap's film will be screened alongside 19 feature films, including 11 world premieres and five first-time films.
