Debutant director Anurag Kashyap seems to be winning over friends steadily despite the fact that his film, Paanch, has run into serious problems with the censor board. The latest to join the bandwagon is the Mumbai-based ramp model Jesse Randhawa.

She has agreed to work in Kashyap`s for his next film. Her mind was made up after she saw Paanch. Jesse was to work in a Bollywood film earlier but the director left her in the lurch. Since then the lady has been very edgy about taking up any Hindi film assignments. Thanks to Kashyap, her confidence has been restored, she says.

Jesse insists that Paanch is a class act, and a director like Kashyap is just right person to launch her on the road movie stardom.
