Overview

• Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap issued an apology for a controversial remark about Brahmins, stating it was taken out of context but expressing regret for the resulting backlash.
• Kashyap's comment, "Brahmin pe main mootoonga... koi problem?", drew widespread criticism and led to rape and death threats against his family, friends, and colleagues.
• A formal complaint was filed by Ashutosh J Dubey, a BJP advocate, requesting Mumbai Police to register an FIR under hate speech laws for the alleged casteist remark.
• The remark was made during Kashyap's criticism of the CBFC's handling of the biopic 'Phule,' which faced delays and mandated edits after objections from Brahmin groups.
• Mumbai Police have not yet confirmed whether an FIR has been registered, and the legal complaint remains under consideration.
