Anurag Kashyap criticised the decision and spoke about it on Twitter.

 

Anurag Kashyap in a series of Tweets condemned the decision of banning ‘ADHM’.

 

He asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi why he hasn’t apologised for his visit to Pakistan last year. 

 

Acknowledging the sacrifice of the soldiers on the border, he asked, why only does Bollywood need to face the consequences of the ban? 

 

There was massive outrage on Twitter because of his tweets. People said that Anurag Kashyap has ‘crossed a line’ with his comments.

Banning ADHM is NOT his personal decision

 

Some also stood by Anurag’s side and supported Karan Johar and said that Anurag Kashyap is, in fact, asking the ‘real’ questions.

 

After people started questioning Kashyap’s patriotism, he said that being a devoted citizen of the country, it was his right to ask questions and that is exactly what he is doing.  

 

He shushed all haters who were criticising him for speaking his mind. He asked them to prove their love for the country in an honourable way. Not by shouting. 

 

He says that he doesn’t want to live in a world where he has to be scared to keep his point and simply nod along to impress people.

 

He also replied to the media saying that they are not in any way ‘drunk tweets’. This is indeed what he has been feeling for a long time.

That’s classic Anurag Kashyap. Saying what he believes in.

What do you think, does he have a point? Feel free to let us know in the comments below.
