Anurag Kashyap responds as Abhay Deol calls him ‘toxic’ and ‘liar,’ says ready to ‘apologise again’

Anurag added, “What I said was what he was like in the past. We all evolve with time. He has done a great job in Trial by Fire. I think it is time to celebrate his strong performance rather than playing the ping-pong of who said what.”

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Abhay had slammed the director and said, “I had my heart on my sleeve, and all that is great – but you get taken advantage of, and then you get reactive. So, he (Anurag Kashyap) was a good lesson for me. Then I just avoided him, because I don’t need toxic people in my life. Life is too short, and there is so much more to explore. But he (Anurag) is definitely a liar and a toxic person. And I would warn people about him.”

Anurag and Abhay last worked together for the film Dev D in 2009. It also starred Kalki Koechlin, Mahie Gill, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya.
