Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap made headlines after voicing his support for controversial Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Anurag penned a long note for Vanga and called him, ‘the most misunderstood, judged and reviled filmmaker at the moment.’ Anurag’s post attracted criticism from his fans, and even old cohorts like Neeraj Ghaywan and Varun Grover.
Anurag, who said that he has watched Animal twice, shared a picture with Vanga on Instagram, and wrote, “To me he is the most honest, vulnerable and a lovely person. I wanted to meet the man and I had questions and he answered every thing I asked of him about his film that I actually saw twice. Thank you for being patient and being yourself. This is a person you can actually confront and talk to. Pls talk to him about the problems you have with the film.”
Anurag co-produced Ghaywan’s directorial debut film Masaan. Additionally, Ghaywan co-directed the second season of Netflix’s Sacred Games with Anurag. During the Made in Heaven controversy, Anurag came out in support of Ghaywan and defended him.
The controversy arose when Yashica Dutt, author of “Coming Out as Dalit: A Memoir,” demanded recognition for inspiring the character Pallavi Menke in a Made in Heaven Season 2 episode directed by Ghaywan.
