Mumbai, February 22 – Following Anurag Kashyap's criticism of director Kamakhya Narayan Singh's "The Kerala Story 2" as a propaganda film, the filmmaker has responded, stating that Kashyap has become mentally weak.
In a video posted on social media, Kamakhya said, "Anurag Kashyap has said that no one is feeding anyone 'khichdi' like this. I completely agree with him. No one can give anyone 'laddu' like this. But unfortunately, in our society, our innocent daughters are being fed beef to change their religion. This is a crime."
He added that Kashyap seems to have a problem with everything, be it Brahmins, Netflix, or the film industry.
"The problem is that Anurag Kashyap has become mentally weak. He has a problem with everything. He has a problem with Brahmins. He has a problem with Netflix. He has a problem with the film industry. This man has a problem with everything. He made a film, 'The Girl in Yellow Boot'. In that, he has imagined an unethical relationship between a father and daughter. In a civilized society, this is beyond thinking. But this man has become mentally weak," he added.
Kamakhya said that the society has also stopped taking Kashyap seriously.
"All his films have been flops for many years. I pray to God to give him good sense. 'The Kerala Story 2' is a film based on true incidents. Its trailer is being liked by the society. Thank you," the director concluded.
During a recent interaction with the media, Kashyap was asked if he had seen the trailer of "The Kerala Story 2". To this, he replied by calling the movie "total bull propaganda." He said that no one feeds beef to anyone like this; in fact, no one is even fed khichdi like this. Kashyap claimed that the makers just want to make money.
