Anurag Kashyap has found himself entangled in a new controversy after the objections of the Brahmin community, who accused his film “Phule” of painting him negatively. In response to criticism, Anurag shared his views on Instagram stories, which quickly provoked the backlash. When read in a comment, “Brahmins are your father,” Anurag replied with a controversial remark, “Brahmin Pay Main M ******* A..yard problem (I will urinate on Brahmins … any problem)?”
An FIR was lodged against Anurag at Bajaj Nagar police station in Jaipur on his controversial remarks about Brahmins. The case was registered after Anil Chaturvedi, a resident of Barkat Nagar, a complaint was filed on 19 April.
The filmmaker later apologized for his comment, stating that he was standing with his statements, he regretted a special comment, which was excluded from the context. He also shared that his family, especially women, were receiving rape and death threats due to dispute and called trolls to prevent them from harassing them.
“This is my apology, not for my post, but for that one line taken out of reference and hate hatred. Any action or speech is not worth threatening to rape and death from the kingpins of your daughter, family, friends, and colleagues to rape and death,” Kashyap wrote.
Anurag also said that when people are free to direct their misuse on him, their family should not be drawn in this matter.
