Twitter User Accuses Anurag Kashyap Of Rolling A Joint In Video; The Filmmaker Clarifies

Apart from unconventional and neo-noir films, Anurag Kashyap is popular for his opinions on social media. The director doesn’t mince his words while criticizing the government policies or raising his voice on social issues in his tweets.

Many a time, his outspoken nature on social media has dragged him into controversies. Trolls, in fact, have even targetted his daughter by sending her rape threats following Kashyap’s straight-forward nature on social media.

Recently, a Twitter user shared a clip of Anurag Kashyap, which looks like a part of a video chat and accused him of rolling a joint on air. Anurag is seen applying a roll like thing to his lips in the video for a couple of seconds. For those who don’t know, a joint usually consists of marijuana, the use of which is illegal in India.

The Twitter user asked the Mumbai police to investigate the matter if Kashyap was using marijuana in the video.

The accusations did not go down well with Kashyap and he responded to his claims. Kashyap said that he is open to a probe and cleared that he was rolling tobacco which is legal, not marijuana.

Well, let’s take it as it is, Kashyap might really be rolling a joint of tobacco, if he says so! We would only like to call your attention to a friendly reminder, ‘smoking kills’.
