New Delhi: Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has fired back at Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos following a recent comments about the sacred Games. During an appearance on Nikhil Kamath’s WTF Podcast, Sarandos spoke about the development of Netflix India, which mentions popular titles such as Sacred Games, Hiramandi, CID and Kapil Sharma Show.
In Podcast, Sarandos doubted the decision to launch Netflix India’s original programming with a holy game. He suggested that, in obstruction, some more “populous” could be a better starting point.
“Our first Indian original show was a sacred game, and I thought,” It is going to be very good. People in India love films. It’s a TV show that looks big as a film – it has film stars. ” The interesting thing was that it was a lot of novel, “Sarandos said.” But I did not understand that we were showing a new type of entertainment in a country of India size. “
He said: “If I did all this again, did I have done a holy game after a few years and started with something more populous instead.
Following Sarandos’s comments, Kashyap replied rapidly, calling the CEO of Netflix “dumb”.
Sharing his feedback on threads, Kashyap wrote:
“She should have started with mother-in-law … she must have done well. What she is doing now :)) I always knew that technical people are dumb when it comes to telling the story, but @Tedsarandos is the definition of dumb-the definition of dumb-which I did not know. It’s good to find out. It is good to find out. It explains everything now.”
Sacred Games was the first original series of Netflix India, directed by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwen. The show, which starred Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, gained large -scale popularity for their gritty story and cinematic scale.
However, the second season received mixed reviews, and the show was not eventually renewed for a third.
