Acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has yet again been embroiled in controversy for his latest assertion against Brahmins. His statement acquired quite a few backlash from audiences. Now, a grievance has been filed against him for his ‘derogatory and casteist statement’ against Brahmins. 

Recently, a person commented on Anurag’s post pronouncing, “Brahmins tumhare baap hain. Jitna tumhari america sulgegi utna tumhari sulgaayenge.” (Brahmins are your fathers. The greater you mess with them, the greater they will burn you). Replying to the consumer, the filmmaker wrote, “Brahmin pe foremost mootoonga... Koi problem?” (I will urinate on Brahmins... Any trouble?)

Now, Ashutosh J. Dubey, an recommend and the Head of BJP Maharashtra's SM Legal and Advisory Department, took to X (formerly Twitter) and shared that he has filed a criticism towards him for his feedback in opposition to Brahmins. He wrote, “I have officially submitted a criticism to @MumbaiPolice in search of registration of an FIR in opposition to @anuragkashyap72 for his derogatory and casteist observation against the Brahmin network. 

He brought, “Such hate speech can't be tolerated in a civil society. The regulation have to take its direction.”Anurag Kashyap hasn’t replied to the grievance yet.

For the unversed, the filmmaker currently sparked a communication on social media by using expressing his frustration with the CBFC for delaying the release of Phule, a biographical movie helmed by using Ananth Mahadevan. The assignment, offering Pratik Gandhi as social reformer Jyotirao Phule and Patralekhaa as Savitribai Phule, has drawn objections from some Brahmin corporations in Maharashtra who declare it portrays their network inaccurately.

Anurag in addition highlighted the irony of positive companies reacting strongly to a film that hasn’t even reached the public yet. He wondered how such access became feasible before professional clearance and release. 

After he faced backlash for his comment, he took to Instagram and shared that his daughter, circle of relatives, and pals were receiving r*pe threats.He shared that though he stands by way of his universal publish, he regrets the effect of a selected line that he considers has been misinterpreted and brought out of context. He delivered, “No movement or speech is well worth your daughter, own family, friends, and colleagues getting r*pe and demise threats from the kingpins of sanskar.”
