Director Kamakhya Narayan Singh shot back at Anurag Kashyap in an video where he said, “Anurag Kashyap Ji ne kaha hai ki koi aisa kisiko khichdi bhi nahi khilata. Main ekdum maanta hoon, koi kisiko aise laddoo bhi nahi khila sakta.

“Problem yeh hai ki Anurag Kashyap Ji mansik roop se durbal ho gaye hain, unko har cheez se dikkat hai. Unko Brahmanon se dikkat hai, unko Netflix se dikkat hai, unko film industry se dikkat hai. Is aadmi ko har cheez se dikkat hai.”
He further said: “Inhone ek film banayi thi That Girl in Yellow Boots, usme inhone kalpana kiya hai ek pita aur putri ke anetik sambandh ko. Ek sabhya samaj mein yeh sochne ke pare hai, par yeh aadmi mansik roop se durbal ho gaya hai aur samaaj ne bhi isko seriously lena chhod diya hai. Inki saari filme pichle kai saalon se flop hai. Main param pita parmeshvar se prarthana karta hoon ki inko sadbudhi de.”
