Many directors from the Hindi film industry have recently been very vocal on social media on the nepotism debate, some engaging in a war of words while others talking about various other aspects. Amidst the chaotic circumstances, director Anubhav Sinha, who had earlier spoken up on the nepotism debate, took to Twitter to make a big announcement and he did not mince his words while doing so.
Best known for his films ‘Thappad’ and ‘Article 15’, he shared a series of tweets in which he declared that he’s had “enough” and is set to “resign from Bollywood”. Check out the tweet below:-
ENOUGH!!!
I hereby resign from Bollywood.
Whatever the fuck that means.— Anubhav Sinha (Not Bollywood) (@anubhavsinha) July 21, 2020
To set the record straight, he even changed his Twitter bio from ‘Anubhav Sinha’ to ‘Anubhav Sinha (Not Bollywood)’.

चलो दो लोग BOLLYWOOD से बाहर। अपन हिंदी फ़िल्म इंडस्ट्री में रह के फ़िल्में बनाएँगे।

After his decision went viral, many fans were left wondering whether his decision to ‘resign’ from Bollywood meant that he would discontinue filmmaking as well. Following the confusion, the director again took to Twitter to better clarify his plans going forward. He posted a series of tweets:-
I didn't know why I came. I just wanted to make movies. I have just started figuring out why though. https://t.co/bTkNB9iYGw

To those who say I am not earning my lunch and I just keep tweeting, I have finished the first draft of a brand new script all by myself. So I work too. Just that I can multi task. Okay???

Of course I will only make movies. In fact more. But I am dramatically changing my own logistics that will be as shitless as possible. Will tell you more in times to come. https://t.co/BQ3f8aocMU
