Director Anurag Kashyap is facing backlash after he made a controversial remark. His statement, “I’ll pee on the Brahmins,” has sparked widespread outrage across social media and various communities. The comment has been condemned for being offensive and disrespectful, drawing sharp criticism. Here’s a look at what led to the controversy.
The Incident
After the CBFC had asked the makers of the film ‘Phule’ to remove a few scenes and dialogue, Anurag took offence to it, saying the film was about social reformers and needed to be told. The Brahmin community had raised objections to the film, claiming it depicted them in a negative light.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, Anurag shared his comment which drew criticism. Replying to a comment saying that “Brahmins are your father”, Anurag had written, “Brahmin pe main m*******a..koi problem (I’ll pee on the Brahmins…any problem)?”
Anurag issues apology
Anurag took to Instagram and apologised for only one comment. He added that his family is receiving rape threats and that anyone who wishes to speak with him should do so directly rather than involving his family.
