Anurag Kashyap’s Strong Reaction
Director Anurag Kashyap, known for his candid opinions, was among the first in the film industry to voice his concerns. He shared an Instagram story highlighting the news of the film’s delay, commenting in Hindi: “Bhai India mein caste to exist hi nahin karti. Dhadak 2 mein bhi yahi bolta tha. Hamare leaders ne India mein caste system khatam kar diya hai. Baaki jinko nahin dikhta, woh chu**** hain.” His statement, laced with sarcasm, critiques the narrative that caste is no longer a significant issue in Indian society—a perspective often reflected in sanitized mainstream cinema and political discourse.
